@expedition.ola: I genuinely thought they were telling me Birdie was dying💔 When euthanasia was brought up, when they said it was really severe, I asked if her infection had become so severe that she wasn’t going to make it… or if we had somehow reached a point where continuing to fight for her would mean allowing her to suffer😭 But the more we talked, the more I realized, the infection I came to this hospital seeking help for wasn’t why euthanasia was being recommended. This was about how they viewed Birdie. They simply did not believe a dog like Birdie could have a good quality of life, and felt the amount of care she requires is too much. We’ve been caring for Birdie for the past month in a freaking CAMPER!!!😂 And I’m standing here being told how difficult Birdie is to care for after a fully equipped veterinary hospital cared for her for ONE night😂 Trust me, I know exactly how much work Birdie is. And I know exactly how worth it she is!!! And quality of life… this girl lives the happiest most fulfilled life ever and THAT is the part that seems to be getting lost here. Birdie LOVES being alive!!! She wakes up happy. She swims. She runs. She explores. She plays. She makes the absolute most out of every single day🌊💕 She isn’t some unwanted dog we’re desperately hoping someone will eventually agree to care for. We have incredible families fighting for the privilege of giving her that care for the rest of her life. Birdie has an entire community around the world ready to show up for her again and again! Birdie does not need someone deciding whether she’s worth the work. She needs medical care. And she deserves a team that looks at all that life in her and thinks, “How do we get this girl back to living it?”🐾🫶🏼 I’m done trying to convince people of what we already know. I’m not wasting time searching for somewhere closer or trying to explain Birdie’s complicated history to another team. We’re going straight back to Los Angeles. Back to the surgeon who performed her amputations, knows exactly what was done, and believed in her future from the beginning. Let’s go get our girl the help we came here for!!
