Bogus, Bumpkin, Bumps, Bogie

If you know me, you know about my nicknames. I gave Bogus plenty of names and loved him enourmously, but...today I had to take him back the the shelter, my fostering duties are done. Both Bogus and I cried in the car on the way there. We sat in the parking lot and cried and snuggled before we went in. I delievered him to the foster coordinator with a quivering lip and I just made it back out the door of Operation Kindness before breaking down big time. I knew I couldn't keep him, but letting go wasn't easier for it. Vince even felt so bad he said we could work it out if I wanted him to stay. I just knew I had to do it. I remembered why I decided to foster. It's not to keep every animal I can keep, it's to love every animal I can love. It's not always easy doing something you are passionate about, but it's always right. Bye, Bye little Bumps...I miss you already. You are gonna be one hellova cat!!
