This bed was not red, but it did look out on the garden at Topa Topa in Ojai. The fence out the window protected the chickens from the dogs. We built it before they got along. Once my dog Dorjé took a bite out of Madeline. Tiger and I rushed her to the feed store to talk with Mike. He gave us some sulfur powder to put on her wound and said we needed to keep her in the house. We made a bed for her in the bathroom.
Every time someone came to look at the house, as we were selling it, we would have to say, “Don’t mind the chicken.”
