Thank you Christine, wish I could offer some wise advice about giving up a pet but even giving up these fosters that we had for three weeks was like ripping our hearts out. Our current foster is being adopted by Pam's sister so that should make it easier but Saturday the house will still feel empty. If it is any consolation, know that if you do not know anyone that can take your dogs, there are rescue organizations that place all dogs in homes rather than a shelter while they wait to be adopted. The volunteers that we have met have all been extremely nice and concerned for the well being of all the dogs.

Wishing you the best in your treatment and a milkbone for your dogs.
