If you just can't bare to give up a dog, I do think they make exceptions, but foster families are the best families in the world. I actually think something like this is good for Sadie too, because she doesn't become too dependent on any one dog. Anyway, good luck with your decision, it sounds like you have been carefully thinking things through, and I pray God will guide you with this. Bless you!

Thank you so much Nancy. your prayers mean more to me than any amount of advice on here. having prayers for the Lord to guide in all decisions we make is the best thing that we can ask for. God will lead us and we will do our best to follow. i'm hoping the decision we make is a good choice and we can stick by it and do our best to rehab the dogs we get and get them into the right family's hands that will love and really care for them for life.

thanks Nancy again!! you have been such a great friend and help to me through this (almost) year.
