| Our foster left today, I'm so sad :( Our foster dog was picked up this morning and I already miss him like crazy. He was so gentle and mellow, unlike my very active girls lol. I'm sure he'll have a great home but I wish he was staying with us. Sigh. Off to spoil my girls a little extra today <3 |

| I know!!!! When I show my fosters I sometimes hope no one else wants them but then I have to think about them and the one on one love they will receive from their new family. So hard!

| Aww, I would have a hard time saying goodbye too. Thank you for fostering him. I hope he will be very happy in his furever home.

| It's so sad to see them walk out that door because you miss them so much. Still, you're so happy for them and their future you don't know what to do.

| Reason I won't foster, I could never see them go, no matter how you try not to bond, they just work their little magic into your heart. Take comfort in knowing he is going to make his new mom / dad very happy, someone that needs him very much, someone that will love and spoil him to death, and he will be in his furever home. God bless you for fostering.

| If he was just a foster it would be easier......but on Sunday we decided to keep him. Right before I could call on Monday morning to tell them, I got a text saying he had an approved adopter (And I was on my way to divorce court....what crummy timing!). At that point it felt wrong to tell the adopter that she couldn't have him, kwim? So we are all super sad and teary today. This one is going to take a while to get over sigh |

| so sorry this happened. If I were to foster you would see me on animal planet ....Dog Hoarder... another reason I never mated my females, I could never part with them. Maybe another special lil furbutt will work their way into your heart. Is he the lil guy that is going with someone that lives in Va.?

| sad for you, but think of the joy this lil guy is going to give to this girl. This new mom is going to experience the love of an awesome lil breed. I know these words will not help the sorrow you feel. He is in a new home where he will be treated like royalty, pampered, and spoiled rotten.

| I know how you feel. I have done it for years with adults and raising unwanted or orphaned litters. It is just heartbreaking sometimes. Especially when you have put a lot of time and work into them. You can't keep them all though and if they have a great home to go to you then have room to take in other needy ones. It's a heart wrencher but it's worth it. |

| It's really hard and sending hugs to you for being such an angel. On the bright side, now you can help another little one. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | It is hard letting them go. . . And the boys are a little more lovey and calmer . . When the time is right someone will come a long. . . But think of what you did for that girl adopting him. . . You made her smile and she will be thankful for what you did. . You are a wonderful person. Hugs

| thanks guys I was a horrible teary mess yesterday. Today I'm still super sad but I know he is in a good home where he will be very loved. Today my 7 yr old gave me a mother's day gift he made at school and it was a notepad with all our dogs names on it, including Calvin's. That made me sad, but at the same time happy that I have such a sweet little boy <3. (who is usually more of a little stinker! haha) |
