Thanks again everyone for the words of support and encouragement! They really do mean a lot.
Tank had his vet visit and this boy is too cute. He waltz into that vet office like he owned the place! @Twice - come to find out, per the vet, this boy is more like 3 yo than 6 and he should be able to hold his pee for 8 hours. So....I've been told "no more bedroom time!" Tank has to re-learn create training and in the crate at night he goes. Thank goodness! I can sleep soundly tonight and not worry that he's gonna pee all over the floor and then I'm gonna slip on it when I get up. He's snoring away as I type. He's growing on us, well, on Linnet & I, Mona is still busy telling him who's boss. LOL

Congratulations and you have my admiration for becoming a foster.

A POEM TO MY FOSTER DOG
By Diane Morgan

I am the bridge,
between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.

I am made of mush,
because my heart melted when I saw you,
matted, sore, limping, depressed
lonely, unwanted, afraid to love.

For one little time you are mine.
I will feed you with my own hand.
I will love you with my whole heart.
I will make you whole.

I am made of steel.
because when the time comes,
when you are well, and sleek,
when your eyes shine,
and your tail wags with joy
then comes the hard part.

I will let you go - not without a tear,
but without a regret.
for you are safe forever--
A new dog needs me now!
