She had Giardia, was spayed the 2nd week I had her and then had a UTI so it was a very hectic 4 weeks. It really helped that my husband's boss and her adult daughter adopted her. So I get updates and they have a male poodle which is great as Angel loved playing with my girls. Also, between the 2 of their work schedules the dogs are only alone a couple of hours a day. So it was easier to let her go, but it still broke my heart. So I was happy that she found a great home, sad to see her go, but also a little relieved as one of my girls was not happy she was here and she was a lot of work being a puppy with health issues. I really admire people who do this all the time. I don't think I can do it again.

You did go through a lot with her, the poor baby. I'm thrilled for you that you were able to find a home for her with someone you knew, I'm sure that helped you let her go. Thank you for sharing your story. As I said, this is my first time to foster and I don't know what to expect when it's time for them to leave. I guess I should just enjoy them now and worry about that when the time comes.
