This came in the mail today (along with a bill for part of the emergency room visit; total so far = $145, but that's only for the consultation for ONE chick - no euthanasia or cremation charges yet):
The inside says
"To the P----- Family,
They live on in memories
of the love and devotion they gave us.
With our sincerest sympathy
in the loss of your companion.
Sincerely,
the staff at O------ Animal Hospital"
Just thought that was odd. . .but then, NO ONE commented on
the circumstances of the chicken deaths, which I thought was comment-worthy, so who am I to judge?
