A date with the chicks

Friends of ours are minding some week old chicks, so a play date was organised to meet the little cuties. Elsa, dressed in her favourite Susie Wong outfit, was a little bit hesitant at first, but she eventually warmed up to the little balls of fluff. Sort of.

I do worry about her fear of animals, she loves insects and will quite happily play with a dead beetle, but anything bigger than a frog spooks her. Yet Elsa's desperate for a pet, and has been doing chores towards earning the one she wants, but maybe my girl's not ready for the little lamb with fleece as white as snow just yet...
