Good luck with that

Right, 2 of my 3 dogs were fosters that I couldn't give up. Not getting attached is so friggin hard.

We had 4 dogs and 1 foster. Now we have 5 dogs.

Dude, I was just about to keep a 4th. For some reason, I do so bad with separation in winter (which is when I fostered all three dogs in reference, but different years). This most recent puppy was confiscated from some horrible people. She was bones when we took her in and I got so attached. Luckily my sister-in-law adopted her so I still get to see her. Otherwise I'd have not been able to give her up.

Good to know, fostering is hard. My wife and I are wimps when it comes to saying goodbye.

We get our dogs from the shelter, been a few years since we last visited 🤔
