Heidi Gets a Home for Christmas

Going to be a hard week for us foster parents.
Christmas is such a happy time... and we hope to give Heidi a super happy and fun Christmas... she has a lot of missed Christmas Days to make up for.
While we are focusing on making her happy, we will be a bit sad. This week will be our last with her, our first foster.
While its hard for us to prepare for we are of course excited to report that Heidi has been invited to spend the rest of her days in a wonderful home in central Ohio, with a wonderful family and a their crazy weim Sadie (also a LWR pup).
Bittersweet is pretty much the only word for how we feel.
Heidi has won the dog lottery... we were able to help her along the way. Its been trying at times, but a lot of fun, and a wonderful experience.
I will try to post a few pictures of her new sister and her when we drop her off... that will probably be it for this blog though. Whats next for us, I dont know. We have to sit down, get a little past the emotional side of it, and decide if we have the intestinal fortitude to keep this up.
If we do, we will link over to our next foster from here.
Regardless of whats next for us, what's next for Heidi is a very scary week or three until she settles in... then a happy ending. She deserves at least that much.

Merry Christmas, dear Heidi... and many more to come.

Long distance love from a sappy foster mom in Minneapolis!

Good luck sweetheart!
