Yes that's how I look at it too Karen; another two of my fosters have been adopted with a home visit due for a third. Haggis and Brenna are adopted and Pompom is on his way after the home visit I will miss them all so much but I already am expecting another shih tzu in the coming week and I am sure there will be more to follow. Each one takes a little of heart with him/her but the love multiplies and we know they are happy and cared for ! Cheer up Allyser You will find more dos to love I promise even though you will remember the past ones with fondness!
