Update on "Powell who is not callled Powell."

Powell went to the vet today and he has a broken leg and a broken wing..poor chap/chapess.

The vet thinks that the leg will heal but the wing will depend on how bad the break is, and" Powell who is not Powell", will have the vets full assistance until a decision that is in his best long term interests can be sensibly  made. 
It has warmed Big and my hearts to hear from the vet ,Dr Laterghan, that he does not charge for wild animals [similar to the approach in the UK, although the liklihood of lions and rhinos in Newbury is fairly distant]. They were all horrified at the vets this morning to hear that kids had stoned the poor creature and his sibling
.
"Powell who is not Powell", is back at the farm resting where he will stay for two weeks before he sees the vet again. Some of you will know that I am heading back to England unexpectedly , so I shall be keeping my fingers crossed for angry little owl and hope that Big can weave some of his "Bird man of Alcatraz magic".

Kisses on the lips and HUGE cuddles for Jessie Tommy and Finn....XXXXXXXXX

My sweet Dawn,
Not-Powell is so fortunate to be in your care and Big's and the vet's. If the little owl has a chance to make it, it is with you three.
I'm praying for you and the kids as well. God bless you all in these times of grief.
Lovingly, Gerry
