A Sad Zoo

by

Bullet is on her way to her new home. A day earlier than I was ready for and as soon as she left I started sobbing. :(

The sweet little girl is really excited and didn’t seem too shaken up when Bullet knocked her over. :) It was so cute. Bullet is just so rambunctious and gets a little too excited when people come over. They had plans to stop at PetSmart on the way home to get her some food and treats.

Bullet seemed a little hesitant when we walked passed my car to get theirs. Like she knew. She jumped right up into their vehicle but immediately started jumping over the seats to try to get back to me and then up to me when I walked toward the front.

Do you think she’ll remember us? I don’t want her to be sad in her new home and I know that I’m just assigning her human emotions - which is ridiculous. I know that she will get used to a new routine very quickly and be so happy with a new doggy and kids. She’ll have a nice big property to run and hunt on.

I now know that I am not meant to be a foster parent. I miss her so much right now it hurts. Although all three dogs are sleeping right now - something they wouldn’t have been able to do if Bullet were still here. She is just a mass of pure energy!

I’m glad that her new ‘mom’ works with me and can keep me updated with her antics. She will be missed and remembered…

    Aww. It would be really hard to part with a dog. When I fostered a dog it was for a very short time and I still started to get attached. Dogs adapt very well to a new home, though. I know she will remember you if she sees you again, but she will get along just fine once she gets used to her new routine. She was lucky she got to live with you and your “zoo” for awhile. Those pictures of her are so cute!
