"He's my best friend. I've had him for years he sleeps in bed with me every night," Lafleur told CBS Dallas-Fort Worth. "I can't sleep because I can't sleep without my kangaroo."
Lafleur put out a call for help Wednesday morning on Facebook, asking for searchers, scent dogs and drones to join in the hunt for the missing marsupial.
Lafleur said in a follow-up post Thursday morning that Nigel was safely back at home.
"He is a little scraped up but he is home and will have several days of bed rest," she wrote.She did not specify whether Nigel was captured by the search party or if he came home on his own.
