God bless you for taking her in. I thought about fostering before I adopted; but when I'd have to give them up I was afraid I'd be crying all the time. How do you deal with the giving them back?
Thank you for doing this!!!!!!

I see us more of a stepping stone on the path to their Forever Home. They visit for a few weeks or maybe longer where they can hopefully gain some balance back in their lives with love and compassion while another home is being prepared or found for them.

We went to a quarter auction which is the Northern Chesapeake Sheltie Rescue's fall fund raiser. We had such a good time. We also made out like bandits! A lot more of my Holiday shopping just got done. http://www.ncsr-md.org/available.htmThe Free Spirit Saver who walks the path with Greebo.

She had cateracts... by the end of her life she was totally blind, living in a gray fog. That's part of why we decided it was time. Originally Posted by frugalfranny

Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
