Proud of my old boy
This is my boy Happy! I got him from a rescue a few years ago, overweight, arthritis and barely able to fly due to his previous living conditions. As time went on and his arthritis got worse, I already settled with that he'd never really fly, but when he kept gaining more and more weight despite treatment, I decided to try whatever it takes and started doing physical therapy with him. Tiny steps at a time he started being able to move better and better, I can't describe the feeling when I first saw him stretch his wings all the way up! And now we're here, and he just flies away when he feels like it. I'm immensely proud of him!
This is especially meaningful since he can't climb and walk very well anymore and this just gives him back so much autonomy :)
