Little Muppet Update
My little muppet is not doing well. She is not eating well and she is still losing weight, and her breathing is not great either. I have a busy few days right now because I am graduating with a Master degree on Friday. So to make sure Racquel got the best care, I decided to hospitalize her.
I took her back into the vet today to have them watch her more closely for a few days. They called me right back and said they’d like to do an x-ray. Unfortunately, that x-ray shows that Racquel has a mass inside of her. This means there’s probably not much that can be done for her.
She is going to go home with the vet tonight and both vets are going to look at her again tomorrow morning and study her x-rays to make a recommendation. I want to be realistic and let you know that I have not had a good feeling about this from the start. So I’m sorry to say that the recommendation will probably be to put our little Racquel to sleep.
If that is the case, I am probably going to go back over to the vet’s office and kiss Racquel goodbye and thank her for all of her awesome fluffy muppetness. She has been a really amazing little creature to be around for the past 11-months, and I am so lucky to have had her stick around for so long.
The yard just won’t be the same without her sneak attacks and karate chops.

Oh tears!!!! and no words….
Give her kisses just for us too please. We have had so much fun watching her through the blog as well. We have come to love her like our own. Had hoped to get to meet her this summer on my trip up there. She is the reason we want a muppet ourselves. So cute and so much personality. What a doll.
More Tears……
Her and Douglas and all those that have passed can romp around and play togethor.
Much love our little muppet. You will truely be missed.
We love you

I am so sad. Count me in as a huge fan of Racquel L’Oreal. Despite the prognosis I’m praying for the best for the little Muppet. xoxo
Oh no, I am so sorry. Tell her we all love her!!
I’m am so sorry that you all are going through this. I feel especially bad for Racquel. I know that she has been safe and happy with you and then rest of her pals. She’s had a wonderful 11 months of being loved and getting the very best care that anyone could give her. I will pray for you all.
Bless you, You are an angel for your animals.
This news has brought tears to my ears. I’ve totally fallen in love with Racquel. I think I’ve been coming here for Fuzzy Muppet updates as much as I have to hear about Flapper. Hugs, kisses and lots of love!
How amazing that a little fuzzy muppet I’ve never seen in person can take up such space in my heart. Sending up prayers for Raquel L’Oreal and her people that the grace of God will be with them all.
I’m so sad to hear this. I know she’s had a life full of love and treats since she’s met you. Sending you love during this difficult time. Raquel is a sweet girl and you’ll do what’s best for her. You always do.
Also, congrats on graduation. I wish it could have happened at a happier time.
Oh no. Something like this was to be expected at her age, I guess, but it is still very sad. I didn’t know that chickens came in fuzzy muppet variety until I saw Racquel, and I feel richer for having known her, albeit remotely.
I will continue to hope for the best, even if the “best” means to say goodbye. I am
tearing up now….
I feel for Olivia. I hope that she will not be too lonely without her best bud.
Congrats on the masters, even if the timing is unfortunate. At another time I’d love to hear about your career plans.
I’m still hoping for a miracle for the little lady.
Racquel, buckup! Your friends in the yard are waiting for your return.
So sad, I love that fuzzy little muppet. You have had so many losses as of late Tiffany, you are truly an angel for doing what you can do, and far stronger than I could ever be in such situations such as this. God has blessed these animals by bringing them to you.
Oh no…. I’m sorry to hear. Racquel you are such a rockstar! I am glad your time over the past year as been with Tiff and the ducks. I know they love you lots.
*kisses*
I’m so sorry for Racquel, and I’m sorry for you and all the critters at Casa del Flapper, but specially for Olivia.
What heartbreaking news. I hope there’s something that can be done, but if there isn’t you choose the best option for your little muppet. She’s had a wonderful time with you, she was lucky to end up at Flapper’s and beiing surrounded by such sweet critters (I know, Malley was rough at showing his affection for her from time to time).
I’d like to add that I’m sorry for giving you such a hard time when Racquel just arrived, sometimes we say the wrong things out of concern….
Whatever happens in the coming days, Racquel has left an impression on me, she’s made a difference. Bless you funny fuzzy lady, be at peace.
On a different note; I’d like to wish you lots of luck with your upcoming graduation! I hope it all will go well and congratulate you with all your studying and hard work!
love from all the featheries at Foppe’s Acre!
Sorry that the prognosis doesn’t look good for sweet Racquel. She was fortunate to end up in your care and had an awesome, priviledged life with you. Thank you for sharing her stories so folks get to know some of the secret life of chickens.
Congratulations on earning your Master’s degree!!! It’s not easy to stay that focused with all the other things competing for your attention.
Best wishes to you Raquel and to your lovely mommy who always wants the absolute best for you. Be calm, be comforted, you are loved.
I’m so sorry about Racquel. You must have wonderful vets who will take her home with them at night. That surprised me. Take care.
Poor thing. I’ve been such a big fan of the whole group, and just got caught up on the last couple of years! Raquel has had a wonderful family of people and critters surrounding her for the last 11 months.
Congrats on the Masters degree though!
Blessings,
Dena
Gosh, what a great 11 months it has been. I never even knew that these kinds of chikins existed. I’m sure that Flap didn’t either. I have so enjoyed having her a part of Flap’s backyard. I say congratulations to you Tif on your Masters. What a great accomplishment. Enjoy this time as much as you can.
