This is my last night of having Foster Puppies.
Today we had a 'Spa Day', complete with a warm bubble baths and 'pawdicures' for both Sam and Munchkin...I always like to return them clean, fluffy and fresh-smelling! We've spent lots of time playing, cuddling, hanging on the couch and playing some more.
Bright and early tomorrow I will load them back into their travel kennel and return them to the Humane Society where both will undergo spay and neuter surgeries in anticipation of going off to their new homes.
Sam will be adopted by a co-worker and by this time tomorrow night he will be recuperating in his new house with a new name 'Bailey' and a new mommy named Melanie. As for little Miss Munchkin, the 3 co-workers that were interested in her had to pull out at the last second, so she will be waiting for that perfect person to come along and see her darling little face and her black and white mini-cow markings and fall head-over-heels in love with her and take her home as their friend for life.
Walking out of the Humane Society tomorrow morning will be the absolute hardest part of being a Foster Mommy...even harder than cleaning up puppy poop. Leaving a large chunk of my heart behind with my kids is part of the process. And I'll probably cry for a minute or two as I drive to work.
I know I am doing a good thing. I love doing it. And I love the feeling of having two adorable critters for two weeks then being able to return them. It breaks my heart, but I do it anyway. It never gets easier. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
