This is Part 4 of our story about Dolly, Broken Ear and Frances.
Frances, though still very young (we think about 6 weeks old at this stage), was growing up fast, and here we see her having one of her first solid meals. It was a baby bird, and Frances, honestly, was not all that enthusiastic about it (“Mom!! This thing has toenails!”).
Broken Ear paid his little daughter a cautious visit, making it clear that his newly re-injured ear was still tender and that a play date was out of the question. Fortunately, Dolly – younger than Broken Ear and always ready for fun – was nearby and happy to be climbed on and chewed.
