00:00You won't find a chicken more pampered or taken care of.
00:07I've been a weatherman for 40 years, and I've never seen a chicken during a snowstorm.
00:20I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.
00:22It's supposed to be four degrees that night, so I tried to capture her and all I had was
00:27some potato chips.
00:35It wasn't a quick grab-and-go kind of a thing.
00:38I did slip.
00:46It certainly took a little while to catch her, but with the help of another gentleman
00:51we trapped her.
00:54During my live shot, a chicken walked up to me in about seven inches of snow.
01:00So I picked the chicken up, and we're really good friends now.
01:05My roommate and I decided to take her home.
01:09We could clean out that green basket.
01:14You'd fit in there perfect.
01:22We brought her home so we could rehab her, because she was so skinny.
01:25She ate immediately, and she's been so easy to take care of.
01:31Did you just take a bath?
01:34She was wet in the rain.
01:37You a good girl?
01:40I had a little health scare.
01:42I had a small, mini stroke.
01:43I thought it ended my career, actually.
01:45I was fighting depression at the time.
01:48So she's been part of my rehab, and I was part of her rehab.
01:54She kind of gave me a little bit of purpose again.
02:03She follows me around now like a dog.
02:07I spent a little bit of time through speech therapy, and I spent some time to try to get
02:11my mind straight a little bit there, because being a weatherman is strictly off the top
02:15of your head.
02:17Do you remember this?
02:18Is that why you're so vocal?
02:20Now I have a podcast, and I do the weather.
02:23I swear she loves being on camera, because she can see herself.
02:27The minute I get on, people are like, where's Penny?
02:30She's been like a celebrity ever since.
02:32She is about to fall asleep.
02:34She's never fallen asleep on camera before.
02:36I'm so sorry, baby.
02:38Yeah, I know.
02:39You want to go to sleep, don't you?
02:42Yeah, good night, girl.
02:44Now that she's a part of the family, it's all been well worth it.
02:51Honey.
02:55Feel good?
