My sweet Bridget is leaving me tomorrow [View all]

I knew this day would come, but I hoped I'd have another week or so with her. However, I got a call from the foster coordinator asking me to bring her in. Since she's going for her spay surgery tomorrow, I'll take her and they'll pick her up. I'll miss her so much! She's such a sweet baby, so affectionate and playful, but she needs a permanent home, and I can't be that for her. It's time.
