@expedition.ola: Everybody exhale with me… 3, 2, 1 😮‍💨 Birdie is going to be JUST FINE! Better than fine actually, she’s going to be GREAT💕 The vets are really happy with Birdie’s overall health and expect her to make a FULL recovery!!! They’ve pinpointed the bacteria causing the infection and have her on the proper antibiotics to clear it right up! Her incisions have been closed back up again and the plan is to keep her hospitalized till next weekend!! By then her stitches will be ready to come out and after that, we will pick her up! She will not step one little Birdie foot outside of this hospital for the next week🫠 She’ll stay in a completely controlled environment where they can keep everything clean, monitor her constantly and give her body the chance to heal! As you can see, she has the most perfect little set up in the middle of the hospital where there is ALWAYS someone around. They sit in there with her during team meetings, people are constantly stopping to love on her, and basically she has an entire hospital staff wrapped around her little finger. Soooo… she’ll survive without us💗 Meanwhile, we’re heading back to Lake Tahoe for the week where we might actually get to reset and catch up on sleep and rest ourselves! My birthday is next week, so hopefully we can recover enough from the last few days of absolute insanity and do something fun🏔️🌊 And then we’ll come back to Los Angeles to pick up a completely healed Birdie who is ready to ROCK AND ROLL!!! This was a setback. That’s it. This girl will be swimming and FLYING around in those wheels before we know it🕊️ And seriously, THANK YOU to every single person who has contributed toward Birdie’s care. Being able to say YES to keeping her hospitalized for as long as she needs, surrounded by an incredible team and receiving this level of care is something we do not take for granted. We love you. We appreciate you. And we will keep you all posted! But really, at this point, there’s nothing to worry about! Our girl is safe and soon she will be living her BEST LIFE YET🌞

Megan 🧚‍♀️ :

As a vet tech, I can tell that tech is a badass 👍

Hunter :

I see you guys are heading to Lake Tahoe; Please, Please don’t let your dog swim in the water please. There is a bacteria (blue green algae) that is toxic to dogs that make them Severely sick or die. Look it up please!!!🙏 🙏🙏

DebbieTurp :

You guys have to keep birdie. Don’t adopt her out

Emma :

The whole point of fostering is so that they can do this for so many dogs, birdie is gonna need a lot more care than your average dog would need and that would be a lot to take on while still fostering. Everyone stop trying to guilt them into keeping her. She will find a perfect home I am sure

bulgariwife :

Are you jokinggggg 😭😭

Kristine T :

Donated towards Birdie’s care through your Venmo. The vet bills have to be astronomical.

🍓🌞🎄 :

Getting a little worried is Birdie ok?

Frank Nash :

If you have followed this group from the beginning and not just with this dog you would have seen the whole story of all the good they have done, the heart break and victories they have fought for with so many dogs. They are giving voices to these animals who can’t speak, Birdie is very special but she is also just the latest in a legacy of dogs that have been saved…she will have a great family that will fight just as hard to give her the best life she deserves. Expedition Ola rocks!

Sandra Petrini392 :

You’ve gotta keep Birdie. She’s so bonded to you ❤️

Christine 🪷 :

Birdie just loves you guy's ❤️.....dont let her go anywhere

Stace's🌍 :

You're going to rehome her? Oh heck no. That girl has been through hell to stay with you guys. She is yours.

allie_kayy🍉 :

I can't imagine how she'll feel when she realizes you aren't keeping her.

Stevie Robinson :

Scott Campbell :

Birdie needs to stay in your pack after her recovery, she needs you both. don't think another could give her the Love you. you have all been on long journey together. you must KEEP her...

Kelly Marie :

She belongs to you. You cannot rehome her.

Ana🩵 :

We love you Birdie🥹💕 keep on fighting sweet girl🐶

صَفِيَه🍉 :

Please keep her 🥺

Amanda Dawn :

Where can I fill out the adoption form for her? She’s going to need a lot of special care and someone who won’t give up on her just because the vets want too. A lot of people hear a vet say something and think it’s just what they need to do.

Texas Faith :

I have never been so invested in a dog that hasn't been mine. you all are just incredible human beings🥰🙏

Elizabeth :

I worry so much for Birdie, it seems like the only humans who will love her and care for her the way she deserves is this couple. But I know they eventually put them up for adoption

Perla AG :

Ya siento que la amo , esa bebé es súper valiente y estoy segura que va vivir muy feliz cuando esté completamente recuperada 🥰

beauxvisages2 :

Thank you Jesus!

Morticia Adams :

j'attends tout les soirs d'avoir des nouvelles de notre jolie Birdie... tellement heureuse de voir que ça s'arrange.. comment ne pas aimer cette beauté remplie d'amour 🌸🌸

labirka11 :

No No No! You should never let her go!! Okay?!?! She belongs to your family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Heather Jones :

It’s been two days, I’m so worried.
