He's got a furever home

We took Fog to Craig and Sandy Friday evening . I can now talk about it.  I have to say, that I did really good.  I only got teary twice.  When my last foster dog got adopted I teared up when we were leaving.  I only had him for a week!  When the one before that left, I cried like a baby for 2 days, but in my defense, we had him for 6 months.  And the one before that was equally as bad.  But anyway… 
 Bill put a "Its a boy" sign and a balloon in their yard so everyone would know they adopted a boy...dog.
The happy parents
When we agree to foster, I tell myself, it is only a dog, he is my foster dog , he won’t be here for long, don’t get attached.  I didn't immediately get attached to Ostn, it took a few days.  And blogging about him I think helped too.  But, Fog had the best face, and had the best disposition of any dog I've fostered.  Sandy and Craig only live 10 minutes away, and since we have a large fenced yard, they will bring him over to play in the yard. So I will see him again.
I can say, that Macho is glad he is gone.  I was worried that River would miss him, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue either.  We were sitting on the deck, (Bill, the dogs and me) and River stuck her head in the door and looked around, and then went about her business.  No problem with him being gone.  Ace? Ace is his normal self.  He doesn’t mind having them around, but he is happy to have the house back to normal.
I heard Carrie Underwood singing this on the radio today, it seemed appropriate for a foster dog leaving, the song is called, See You Again.  This is the part that made me thing about Fog.
Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on cause I know
I will see you again
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me

Said goodbye turned around
And you were gone
