Despite my anal-housekeeping-tendencies, I definitely would want to be a Rooster Rescuer in a pinch. Heat does to me what it did to this rooster, so right away I'm easily sympathetic. This unrelenting heat has had us reviving my daughters bunnies in the kitchen more than once this summer (we wrapped them in towels soaked in ice water for immediate relief), and last year we nursed her pet duck--again in the kitchen--after it was attacked by a fox in the backyard. All in all, it feels good to lend a human hand when the going gets tough :-)

Really enjoyed this charming tale, Judythe!
