Piper was adopted yesterday by a couple who seem like they will love her and take good care of her. One said that his late husband was diabetic and he has experience administering shots. Danae and I went to visit her at her new place to bring all of her supplies and talk about her care and feeding routines.

Piper was happy to realize it was us coming into the unit, but she was ensconced on one of the men's laps and decided that that was where she wanted to stay. That makes me feel a lot better. I want so much for her to be happy and not miss us for long.

This has been pretty hard for Danae and I. I guess I don't know what to say other than that. I'm happy, but quite sad at the same time. Our home feels a lot more empty.

Very bittersweet. I'm glad you helped her get a forever home, but the sadness when they leave is why I could never foster.

It's hard. This is my first foster, too, so the feelings are kind of new to me.

If she wasn't as special-needs as she is, I'd have less worry and fear. I get so scared thinking about whether she'll be cared for as well as I did. That's not really rational, but it's hard to get past the thought that she's so dependent on me in ways that other dogs I've known have not been.
