Prayers for Jeff ... he broke his leg a while
back ... real bad .... the odds weren't good ... but nice Dr Meredith
Vargas at Culpeper Animal Hospital tried to save the leg. Sadly it's not
healed well, it's a terrible break up high by the hip.
So Jeff is having surgery today and will probably lose the leg. That's
bad .... but it's ok ... we have 2 other pigeons who hope on one leg ...
and fly just fine. Would you help Jeff pay his bill?
