There’s so much I want to say about this, but I’m going to keep it short & simple, as I’m still upset about what happened to this DUMPED DOMESTIC PEKIN!! \"\ud83d\ude2d\"\"\ud83d\ude21\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pekin boy was in a hole (wedged between this brick wall & sod) @ Lake Morton! He was incredibly dehydrated, severely injured, & I do not know how long he’s had been in this state. After assessing him, I couldn’t leave him there to die (unable to walk at all). I drove 2 hours round trip to get him to a location that I knew would help him. He’s where he needs to be now, & I’m thankful that my friend Sally Stephens spotted him, b4 I did (we were admiring 2 swans building a nest) & she thought this pekin was nesting. Sadly, he was not!\"\ud83d\ude2d\" I’m thankful I had the right supplies on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
