I was inspired to sketch another barnyard animal after finding out that Ash and Nikki will be adopting chickens this year!

Meet Thor the Chicken of Thunder

Thor is a large, friendly rooster who was picked up as a stray in Chicago (roaming the streets and calling down lightning on people eating chicken nuggets, perhaps?). He was de-beaked at some point in his life, but that doesn’t detract from his good looks! He was rescued from animal control and is looking for a loving home.

This week’s sketch has one kissable little nose, if you ask me.

Meet Daphne

Daphne is a young female farm pig – not a pot-bellied pig – so she will get big some day! She loves playing with her blue bouncy ball, soaking in the pool, walking on leash, and getting belly rubs. She’s a real goofball around meal times, running and jumping all over the place in excitement! Daphne needs a loving forever home with some room to accommodate her adult size. Do you know anyone who could use a sweet piggy in his or her life?
