Good luck twissle, I'm sure you'll be fine! You will know by now that pictures are compulsory.

You're bound to get fond of your foster dogs, but the more you do the easier it will get....until you meet the one you just CAN'T let go! ;)

You are doing a brilliant and neccessary job, and one not everyone can do, so you should be very proud of yourself. It will be hard when he goes, but think of the better life he will have, and the new owners will have an honest assessment of his character too.

Well done! :D

Thank you both :). Yeah i am quite proud of myself, But more my dog's really, To think this poor dog was too scared to play with other's for the last four year's :mellow: to see him play with mine was the only payment i needed :D. I just no he'll be happier as an only dog still and he took to the people from the word go, Which make's me happy for him :D

And yes Tosca there will be that quite small liver and white working springer that come's to me one day that won't be going anywhere :ohmy:. and enough room to carry on with the fostering :D

Hi honey

I do fostering too for 2 different agencys.

It is hard to let them go but i aways keep in touch by email with the adoptive familys. Most are quite happy to keep you updated for a while.

The changes in the little mites betwen you getting them and when they go are unbelievable. We named one of ours dodge and you can imagine why. He could pick a pocket and leg it with it before the person even knew it was no longer in their pocket. We would put him outside for a wee and when we shut the door and turned round he was on the sofa grinning at us. jumping through a window was noissues for him. But when he arrived he dropped his head if the other dogs try to talk to him he cowered.

I love happy endings
