@wattleihavenext Julie: I know it will definitely be tough to give Butch up...so far, no one has been knocking doors down to come get him, so he will be with us until then. I read this poem recently, and, even though this is my first foster, it sure is how I will feel I'm pretty sure!
A POEM TO MY FOSTER DOG
BY Diane MorganI am the bridge,
Between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.I am made of mush,
Because my heart melted when I saw you,
Matted and sore, limping, depressed
Lonely, unwanted, afraid to love.For one little time you are mine.
I will feed you with my own hand.
I will love you with my whole heart.
I will make you whole.I am made of steel.
Because when the time comes,
When you are well, and sleek,
when your eyes shine,
And your tail wags with joy
Then comes the hard part.I will let you go-not without a tear,
But without a regret.
For you are safe forever--
A new dog needs me now.
