[Beamers Mom]

Because we are leaving town for our vacation we have to put Lil Bit and Beamer into boarding and Reno and Clover have to go back to the Rescue group until we come home.
They picked up Reno and Clover a few minutes ago. It was all I could do not to cry. Clover may be adopted out this weekend, so we may only be getting Reno back for a while.
I hated seeing them being put in the travel crate, and I am sure it reminded them of when they were kept caged up in the puppy mill.
Even Bruce had moist eyes!
They both came looking like the neglected puppy mill dogs they were, but they left with healthier coats, brand new collars with matching leads,bully sticks and treats and their own blanket and beds - and some bows for Clover, although she really can't keep one in her hair yet. I made it clear that if they are adopted while we are away that the collars and leads, blankets etc are theirs and go to their new homes with them.
(They have the harnesses they came with for walking, but their tags are on their collars)

Even Beamer whined a little when they left.

When you foster you know it is only temporary, but it still is hard letting them go.
