I have been accused on more than one occasion of being too soft hearted. I tend to take on projects to help others even when it totally conflicts with my time schedule & lifestyle. I think that this is a great quality in everyone however mine can be too a fault sometimes. I have & especially soft spot when it comes to pets. I have often said I would care about to foster homeless pets & cats however fear that they would all become “foster failures” as i would not want to provide them up. That being said, our local shelter put out an urgent call for temporary fosters last year when their Heating & A/C system broke down. They needed people to condo some of the pets for a week or so while they arranged for repairs. The understanding was that the pets would be returned to them once they had everything up & running. I convinced my family to allow me to foster two of the puppies that they had that were about 12 weeks old. They were so cute that almost everyone agreed to the temporary set up. I think my wife knew in the back of her mind this was not a great idea. The puppies arrived & they were just adorable. The shelter said that they had a serviceman that would be out the following week to make the repairs & that they would contact to let us know when to bring them back. It turns out that the Heating & A/C serviceman tried to service the concern however found that the system needed to be substituted. The shelter is a non-profit & it does not have the money to do that at this time, and i wish I have the funds to provide them however I don’t. The only help I can supply is a passionate condo for these two adorable puppies until they can get it fixed. This is a win for me as I can’t bear to part with them now anyway.
