Fosters graduate--and a retrospective.

5. oh for sure.

It hurts ever time. But I do it for the little ones. And I tell myself that if I want to help any more, I have to let these ones go on to new lives. The shelter always places them very carefully in new homes where they will do well.

The first day is hardest, when the house seems so quiet. But sadness is mixed with a sense of accomplishment, and a sense of shifting the responsibility for them back on the shelter.

The second day is better, after I put away their toys and wash their blankets, etc--the reminders of them.

Today is the third day, and I'm fine now. I still have the mama cat to work with on her socialization, but she's doing well.

Time to remember all the things I've put on the back burner in the last few months and get them done! I could get new fosters at any time--you never know!
