Gosh, it feels good to have our girl back in our arms🥹🫶🏼 That was a long two days… and we missed her so much!!! I was so nervous for this moment. I didn’t know how I would feel seeing her. I didn’t know what she would look like or how she would act🥲 And although it is pretty wild to see her like this… it’s just Birdie🕊️🥰 Same smile. Same zest for life. Same determination. Just two fewer legs😅 Thank you to every single person who contributed, prayed, sent healing thoughts, and loved this sweet girl from afar!! We are just so incredibly thankful she’s safe… and we cannot wait to watch her absolutely crush this recovery💗
