BJ ~ The Traveling Chicken

My granddaughter, Sonya (24), shared this with me this past summer and I thought it was so cute and wanted to post it on my blog and show you how BJ got his name and where he has been. It all started on a forum....

On Tuesday, April 4, 2006 at 12:53 pm: An idea for a travelling adventure begins after being inspired from a similar activity with a Blythe doll on another forum. We decided on a chicken since the name of our forum is Cockadoodledoo.

On Saturday, April 8, 2006 at 1:13 am: We began voting for our chicken's name. The possible choices were - Mr. Swauk, Clara Cluck, Chuck Cluck, Bergurk, Percy Poultry, Bwock (Brock pronounced in Chickenese,) Clucky, Plucky, Clarisse, Cocks McGee, BJ, and Bob.

On Saturday, April 15, 2006, at 5:56 am: We decided The Traveling Chicken’s name would be BJ.

On Saturday, May 13, 2006 at 10:31 am: BJ leaves Los Angeles to make his first stop in Ohio. After staying there he went back to California for a bit, then on to Seattle, Washington. After being in Seattle, BJ toured through the states of Texas, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi. Currently, BJ is back in Washington again and has a few more U.S. stops before he will head off to Canada and then on to England and Australia.

I will be posting pictures of BJ's trip to Mississippi and what fun my granddaughter had posing BJ while visiting her.

BJ never thought a dog would be afraid of a rubber chicken like himself.
