I miss fostering. The bylaws in our town prevent us from welcoming another pup into our home, even temporarily, which sucks.

Love this post! I never thought from that perspective before, and I will definitely have to share.

Such a wonderful way to look at it… you always manage to find the positive and provide a new way of looking at things. 🙂

You said it!
That’s what I told myself when we adopted a senior dog. It’s about the love.

I hope lots of peoples reading your post will consider fostering. It is a really nice thing to do for homeless dogs. My peoples have plenty of love, but no room. They hope one day to have a bigger house so they can foster dogs in need of love.

They’ve also considered raising a service pup (again, when they have more room) but they said they are afraid it will pick up bad habits (from me) and fear issues (from the girls).

Wonderful post and perspective. I wanted to keep Sparky the Rough Collie but knew he would be best off in his own home – and he is! I’ve wonderful photos and emails from his new mom and dad; everyone is so impressed with how well he is doing. So, yes, fall in love again…and again….and again.

I guess that’s why we keep having dogs as well (not just foster ones) even when we know what’s going to happen. Love the soundtrack. It’s made me mellow which is always good for a Sunday 🙂 x

I think you said it very well! We fostered for quite a while and I loved the Christmas morning feeling of bringing a new dog home from the kennel to train. Most of my fosters didn’t stay long enough for me to fall in love deeper than the puppy love stage, either. Although I had a few long term fosters that weren’t a great fit with our family. In those cases we sort of went beyond the romance stage all the way to the break up! lol I can still remember Rapid who stared me down as she stood on the back seat of our van and peed on it. Oh, if I could have wrung her neck, I would have!
