It was actually a relief because he caused such an upheaval in our pack.<br /><br />Now that Joe has been gone a few days I can see that there was more stress in the house than I realized. Secret is fine, she liked Joe. Luke is a little more relaxed now, though, and Kaiser is WAY happier. He gets so stressed when things are not the way he thinks they should be -- but too bad for him, because I'm quite certain there will be other dogs in our family before he passes. ;o)<br /><br />For the reasons you state, it should have been easy. I really can't have four dogs at the moment and Joe didn't at all fit the mold of what I have in mind for my next dog (small, smooth, prick ears, etc.). I think the reason I enjoyed him so much was because his play drive was everything I wanted and everything that Secret wasn't. He was just a fun little dude.<br /><br />But yes, there will be others! Hopefully they are pain-in-the-butt puppies that are easier to say goodbye to. :o)Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-18145050177114400382012-01-03T10:34:00.525-08:002012-01-03T10:34:00.525-08:00People always ask if it's hard to give up my f...People always ask if it's hard to give up my fosters and it's really not. For the most part I have specific type of dog in mind when I'm looking for one of my own, I don't want more than three dogs, I don't consider keeping any of them to be an option, and I know there wil always be another one. That said, I did cry once. Also Zodiac and Lyric are foster failures but I purposely fostered them as prospects since they were what I was looking for at a time when I wanlooking for another dog.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547292170354458260noreply@blogger.com
