Said goodbye to my foster dog

this post hit home on the heartstrings. wife and i joined a chihuahua rescue 5 years ago as a foster home. we have fostered and adopted out, quite a few easy to adopt dogs, foster failed twice when we adopted 2 chis that were and still are partially feral. one from a puppy mill, other from hoarding case. after almost 4 years they still have some trust issues but slowly have become very loving dogs. they travel with us and our other 2 small dogs in our rv on camping trips and have done wonderful on our rv trips. 3 years ago we brought home to foster a senior female chi stray who had been found by a good samaritan after she had been ran over by a car. suffering a broken hip and pelvis she recovered but not long after we brought her home she developed canine dementia symptoms. she spent her last 18 months of life with us before we had to make the decision to put her down after her dementia worsened. it was a tough 18 months in some ways but the confidence that we did the best we could for her and made her last months comfortable and loved was the most important thing.
