Saturday is going to be rough

Well tonight is Linus's last night with us. After 5 months he is going to his furever home tomorrow. It's a great family that only lives about 1 1/2 hours from us. We are really worried about how Morgan will do without him. They are best friends and together 24/7. I've already started crying about it. This is harder than I ever thought. I don't know how anyone can give up a pet after years and not shed a tear. They must not have a heart. Linus has come a long way since we first brought him home. His seperation anxiety is under control, he hasn't bitten me in 3 months and he finally comes to me for love. Even little baby Ethan/Logan knows Linus. He starts kicking me every morning when Linus barks that he is awake. If for any reason it doesn't work out with the family we will take him back and not give him up. I know we saved his life by taking him in. He won't be our last foster. This is something that Norm and I are commited to. If a dog in needs comes up before the baby is born we will not turn him away. If not we will wait until things are stable around here before taking in another.

Aww. I'm sorry you gotta give him up, even though it is definitely the best thing for Linus! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow! Good luck!
