Perry at the Priory
In the summer of 2004 Pericles the Decoy Duck spent a month in The Priory to get over his worm and bird seed addiction.

However, it refuses to die.

Day 14
__
Our little Gang of Four met again up in the excercise yeard this morning. It was all rather subdued. I had a black eye from where Ron headbutted me in last night's fight and Ron has a bruised butt where I pecked him. It looked like Dai and Schrodinger had their own falling out last night since part of Schrodinger's tail was missing and Dai was walking just like that horse in the stables yesterday.Anyway we shook hooves/paws/wings and made up. Then we took a turn around the perimeter together. Ron and Schrodinger went ahead chatting about fur conditioner while Dai quietly explained that he'd had to restrain Schrodinger when the cat had another panic attack on finding that his plush Garfield toy was missing. Schrodinger idolises Garfield - Dai hasn't the heart to tell him it's only a cartoon.
We went back indoors before the excercise period ended as Schrodinger was getting freaked out by a pack of dogs who have just arrived. Apparently they used to work in a laboratory as part of a conditioned response experiment. They're here to be be treated for post traumatic stress after an accident at the lab which nearly killed Prof Pavlov, the chief scientist.
Apparently a fire alarm went off and he almost drowned in dog drool.
