We've fostered 4 dogs on 4 different occasions and each time I go through those same feelings of "this is fun", "this is hard", "maybe we should keep him", "how much longer?"<br /><br />It is such an awarding experience! I contacted a rescue bulldog group last week to see if we could have a go at one of those big boys, but haven't heard back. Definitely want to have another go at it!KatBouskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556451375792958743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-80528124363382140382014-09-06T10:46:21.534-05:002014-09-06T10:46:21.534-05:00I am so glad you shared the array of photos.
