Ugh, the only other thing, while we're venting... and this actually kinda... hurts? I guess? Is when people learn that Blossom was supposed to be a foster and they basically act like of course, I just couldn't help myself, I'm that crazy dog girl! I would have just kept any dog that I fostered, because all that goes on in my head is LOLOLOLOLOL DOGZ DOGZ DOGZ DOGZ
Usually, I shut them up with, "Actually I've fostered before and didn't have any real issues with rehoming the dogs, though I was sad to see them go. This is dog is just very well-suited to me and the things I like doing, so after carefully considering if I should/could keep her, I decided it was a good decision."
Ugh. Shut up, a-holes! LOL. It's not the same tone that dog people use regarding foster failures, it's more like, "oh, of COURSE " Um, please, I probably put more thought into keeping this one dog than you put into buying/obtaining all the dogs you've had in your entire lifetime.
