Here we are at the end of the year. It's been a big one. Not so many foster dogs in this year's end-of-the-year round up, but they are still worth mentioning and remembering. In reviewing the blog since the beginning of January I realize that we were already in the process of moving back then. Clay flew out on New Years Eve to Porto and then to Lille on his scouting trip. Our decision was made and we were in downsizing mode so we didn't take in any fosters after the first of the year.
The end of a dog's stay in foster care is the beginning of their new life. The end of our involvement in foster care was also the beginning of our new life. I miss many aspects of our former life, being a multi-dog household, rescue family and friends, etc., but I have no regrets. We needed to make a change and it was time. The past year was tough in many ways but I'm looking forward, not backward, and I remained excited about what lies ahead.
But, having said that, here's a look back at our final fosters from 2025.
Norman, now living it up as a Canadian citizen.
Storm, Elektra, and Rogue. These were the final three of Marvel's pups that we still had at the beginning of the year.

Bear was the best puppy-sitter we ever had. He was great with them and they adored him.
He has a great new home with two people who love him.
Gus is one of those dogs that I don't remember much about. That means that he was an easy foster and he got adopted quickly.
SweetTart has a great new home where many of my garden pieces now live.
Ted wasn't my foster originally, and he wasn't with us when he got adopted, but we had him for a while during his stay in foster care. He loved the time playing in the pasture with the other dogs.
Ted gets two pictures because black dogs are tough to photograph but they look so good in a field of yellow buttercups.
Woody was our final adoption and it was his final placement after two prior, failed attempts.
Although we probably had more shepherds than anything else over the years, the first dog we foster was Maggie. She was also the mother of the first litter of puppies to be born at our house.
Here are a few posts about Maggie although she proceeded the start of the blog by many years:
