I miss my foster dog

My first foster dog got adopted on Sunday. He went with a really nice family with kids and another dog. But I can't help but miss the little guy.

I am so happy for him but I keep thinking about him and starting to cry. I hope he wasn't confused in the process. Does this get any easier?

@Hellothere1234 You're awesome for fostering! I'm guessing you're working with a rescue - is there anything set up for contacting the adoptive family after a few days to check how things are going? Are you able to be the person who does that? Hearing he's doing well would probably go a long way for you, and you could help with any uncertainties or questions they may be having.
Ah Stormy, your post made me cry. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and at one adoption event there were a few dogs who needed fostering. We had no plans to have another (and a one dog limit) but I took one terrified, shut-down little guy home for a week to help out. After 2 days my husband said we had to keep him, so we'd know he was safe and loved. As time went on, I couldn't imagine giving little Javva up, and after a month of fostering, we adopted him. I've seen others who brought their fosters to be adopted after a month, and one woman really had a hard time with it, but luckily she and the new adopter were similar aged and, became good new friends.

Anyway, after reading about the OP crying because missing their foster dog, I think it's time for me to send another note to Jaya's foster ... I wish someday that the foster gal could come visit and see Jaya here in my home and see how relaxed and happy she is..as she never did get to Jaya in that way, and I think that would help her too. I mean, she knows from the letters and photos, but actually seeing it...might lighten her heart in a different way.
I'm so glad you send those updates! Any chance you can take some short videos and send them along? Just upload to Youtube and send a link even - would be a wonderful gift. :)http://www.dogforum.com//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
