Oops! I got all your expectations up about the story and then forgot to include 
it.  Here it is:

Mrs. Doolittle 

A happily married man had only one complaint, his wife was always 
nursing sick birds. 

One November evening, he came home to find a raven with a splint on 
its beak sitting in his favorite chair. On the dining room table 
there was a feverish eagle pecking at an aspirin while, in the 
kitchen, his wife was comforting a shivering little wren that she 
found in the snow. 

The furious spouse strode over to where his wife was toweling down 
the cold little bird. "I can't take it any more! We've got to get rid 
of all of these damn..." 

The wife held up her hand to cut him off in mid-curse.  "Please, 
Dear," she said, "Not in front of the chilled wren."
