Oh, My Aching Beak

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

By Rhett, The Kelley House Goose

I really appreciate all the concern expressed by the community over the last several weeks regarding the delicate condition of my beak. My friend and Kelley House Board member, Loretta McCoard, took me to see veterinarian Karen Novak at her new office in Mendocino. As best as Karen can tell, I somehow picked up a fungus, which infected my beak. Loretta is helping me take my antibiotics and monitoring my condition. (She sneaks the pills into my bread, and I pretend not to notice.)
