This came from the Beaumont Enterprise. (1/29)

TALLAHASSEE,Fla.- Perky is one tough bird.  The ring-neck duck survived being shot and spending two days in a hunter's refrigerator-and now she's had a close brush with death on a veterinarian's operating table.  The one-pound female duck stopped breathing Saturday during surgery to repair gunshot damage to one wing, said Noni Beck of the Goose Creek Wildlife Sanctuary.  Veterinarian David Hale revived the bird after several tense moments by performing CPR.  Perky entered the headlines last week after a hunter's wife opened her refrigerator door and the should've-been-dead duck lifted its head and looked at her.  The bird had been in the fridge for two days since being shot and presumed killed Jan. 15.  Perky is recovering with a pin installed in the fractured wing.

Don't tell me, the wife took it to the vet instead of just killing and eating it.

Wait till her husband comes home from the camp and gets the bill. He left the meat for a gumbo in the fridge and comes home to find it costs him $1,500..... TO SAVE IT!!!!

Divorce papers pending!!   :D

No joke, the bad part is a Ringneck is as tough as a boot. He was probably gonna get it mounted, not eat it.

Taxidermy $190 

Veterinarian $1500

Well, I want to know just how Veterinarian David Hale went about perfoming CPR on Perky.

I saw it on CNN or CBS news this morning. The vet said that he pronounced the duck dead and the other guy picked it up and shook it or blew into its beak or something. Then Perky came back for round three.

** The vet quickly jumped in and performed another $3,000 worth of lifesaving skills.... ;D
