She's my second failed foster, I 'fostered" the last one for 13 years......
Fostering is odd for sure. When Z meets people, I tell them she is available for adoption.

Then, I find myself thinking about Z and how a bad handler would affect her life or even worse, punish her behavior. Even though Z and I have yet to connect like past dogs, it is hard not to grow fond... time will tell...

She is laying at my feet as I type this...
