ok... im working on the garage sale this morning and the kids come running up to me and tell me that Willie Nelson, our lab, has caught a bird and broken its wing and it is flopping on the ground... i go running over and my oldest son is on the ground about to cry, petting this bird, it gets up and starts hopping but tries to fly and lands on its head... it has a broken wing for sure... it cant fly and im freaking cuz we have tons of cats in this neighborhood that would eat it... sooo i panic and call cooter and ask him what to do... well he says, kill it so you put it out of its misery... i explain that it is hopping and not hurt except for the wing... my kids are freaking and we CANT kill a living thing... we just cant... sooo i call some local animal hospitals and found the one that we took the last bird we found almost dead and they offered to look at this bird and see what they could do...
they just called us and told us that the bird is gonna be fine... they used masking tape as a splint and sent it home with one of the part time vet assistants to nurse the "robin" back to health and then set it free!!! yeah!
last time we took one to this vet, they called and told us that they wanted to give us their condolensces because "bird doe" didnt make it... it was sooo sad... but yet sooo sweet that they called and really took it seriously and my kids appreciated the call even though the news was horrible to them... this time was MUCH better news!
