For You

I'm a huge dog person. My ideal number of dogs is unlimited and my secret/not so secret dream is opening a sanctuary for senior dogs. I had 2 dogs up until my little senior passed away in August. I moved in with my boyfriend in December, so I was waiting until we (including my other dog) were settled in the new place until we talked about adopting another one. My boyfriend likes dogs, but he doesn't really see them as family like I do. I had been sending him links to adoptable dogs back in February, and he told me he didn't feel like he was ready for a second dog and wanted to wait a few months. I was a little disappointed, but that was ok! In the meantime, we signed up to be on a foster list. We got asked to foster a 9 month old puppy named Heidi a couple weeks ago. I expected my boyfriend to not be into it, but he agreed to meet her. He was still a little hesitant to take her home, but since it was just a foster commitment, he said let's do it. Well, she's fit right in, and she's bffs with my/our current dog. She's so sweet and cuddly and loves to play! Last night, he was like "We should talk about it, but I kiiiiiiinda think I'm not going to be able to give Heidi back." So I think we're failing this foster trial run. Heidi's on the left, and our other dog Frank is on the right. https://imgur.com/DHfphBr
