2014.09.01 – Bittersweet Labor Day

Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Today is our last day with Pierre. He’s our sweet doggie who isn’t really our doggie. We have been fostering him for years though. He was with us in Lake Havasu and was supposed to be taken care of before we moved but his owner couldn’t secure a place for him so he ended up coming to Portland with us. He’s been so happy here and we love him a lot but alas the time has come that he can go back to Arizona. He is traveling back with a friend of ours who was out here visiting. I think he is going to be so confused on the long ride back. He doesn’t really know our friend that well. He’s going to be crazy happy to see his owner though. I told him I need a video of the reunion so that I can be absolutely sure he’s happy. My heart is very heavy though. I am going to miss him SO much.

Such a sweet boy!

Such a sweet boy!

Today I learned that letting Pierre go back to his owner is not as easy as I had imagined it would be. It’s actually pretty awful.
