It was a wednedsay morning that our unconventional lovefest began. Awaiting our arrival, on the doorstep to the See Jane Run Warehouse was a sad little bird, completely covered in oil. He was unable to fly and was obviously distressed. He was in dire need of a little TLC. Luckily he chose to perch on the right doorstep...

After doing a bit of research, it was off to buy some Dawn soap; it's tough on grease, you know. It was time to show our love for our new found friend by giving him a bath...an unconventional method of showing love, if you ask me. I don't recall anyone ever saying to me, "I love you so much; now hop in the sink so I can wash you with dish soap." I won't bore you with wordy bath details....the pics tell the story.

The bird was quickly deemed "Jane," how original. Post-bath Jane lived in a bra bin next to the heat lamp for a day until he was healthy enough to eat. Once we knew he was no longer at risk of dying, he took to living in his bra bin under my desk for two days.

After the first failed attempt at integrating him back to the outdoors with his friends. we had to come up with an alternate plan. Poor little Jane couldn't fly. Not wanting him to be eaten by the neighborhood cats, Jane went back to scooting around under my desk. After a day and a few phone calls, we found a safe haven for Jane at the Wildcare Home in San Rafael, compliments of the Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research Center. Tuesday Morning graciously took him up there where he will live until he is healthy enough to return home.

See Jane Run wishes Jane a healthy recovery with the upper class folks in Marin County! Stop by for a suddsy lovefest anytime.
