Today's my last day with this girl. After exactly two weeks together, we'll deliver her tomorrow to her forever home in Gig Harbor.
My heart aches and leaps. I imagine calling her excited new owners and saying, "I'm sorry I just can't do it." I picture us at Christmas. I picture her growing old. I picture goodbye.
And then, of course, I'm transported back to another goodbye.
That strange and sterile exam room.
Horrible, impossible decisions.
The moment when my little grey sidekick's eyes went from there to.....nowhere.
I know some people are worried about me. I try to dig myself out from all the messages, but I never seem to get very far.
"How will your heart manage?" they wonder.
But they don't understand the impact of my favourite TV show as a kid, the one in which a wandering shepherd saved a lucky human each episode and then continued on down the road, repeat repeat, forever.
They don't know the mark it left, how I knew my whole life that I'd have a shepherd of my own. That, yes, I always assumed it would be a forever friend, because our imaginations only stretch so far. But that it actually somehow feels more right this way.
Charlie is my bridge dog. She helped me across the blackness and I helped her across, too. I taught her that food comes every day, no matter what. That there's always a big fresh bowl of water. And that some humans will love you so much they'll sleep every night on the couch beside your crate.....and then they'll also let you go when the time is right.

dipika.sasikumar Hello Robin, I've been steering clear of your pain (my loss is getting triggered) for which I am terribly sorry. I love you dearly, all that you have to say about everything, I love you. Gracie, she was too pure for words and I understand your pain all too well, I am so glad you have Charlie and I know the amount strength it requires to give her up. I admire you and you have my support. *hugs from India* 🌻

kikiempey ? fostering is so beautiful. Thank you for freeing up a place in the shelter for another deserving creature, thank you for showing one lucky dog what love is, thank you for sharing your grief and your story with us. Maybe you’ll have inspired someone (or multiple someones) to foster an animal, the knock-on effect of that is wonderfully unimaginable.

shelly_m__brown I fostered after I let my Abby go. Had so many people telling me I'd keep my foster but I didn't - couldn't. I did eventually get some permanent furry friends called Wednesday and Cinders but it took lots of healing to get to that point.

__lyricblue__ @robinmay 😊. I'm curious, did you watch both versions? When looking it up it appears that the original was from the 60's & then there was one from '79-'85. Did you watch reruns of the first one? Did you have a favorite dog?

__lyricblue__ @robinmay ok thanks. I think I found the 1st episode on YouTube. It starts out with the dog saving some mountain lion cubs during a forest fire...& now the ranger has befriended the dog & is calling him "Smoke"...😊
