Thom’s Compassionate Decision
Thom’s journey began with a phone call from a shelter worker in California, informing him about a pregnant Pittie named Cholula who needed assistance. Despite the challenges ahead, Thom was determined to help.
Welcoming Cholula and Her Puppies
Cholula surprised everyone by giving birth to eight puppies one night. Thom decided to foster her, noticing her timid demeanor. Yet, she quickly adapted, showing affection towards her new friend.
Creating a Home for the Family
Thom transformed his office into a nursery for Cholula and her puppies. Observing Cholula’s maternal care was heartwarming; she was always attentive, ensuring her puppies were safe.
Blossoming Friendships
Introducing Cholula to their dog, Ruby, was a delightful surprise. The two dogs formed an instant bond, providing comfort and companionship to each other.
Milestones and Goodbyes
As the puppies grew, Cholula’s love for her foster family deepened. Thom and his partner cherished every moment, from caring for the puppies to enjoying mornings with Cholula watching Disney movies.
Transitioning to the Real World
Once old enough, the puppies and Cholula ventured outside, exploring the world and occasionally getting into mischief. Bath times were a struggle, but Thom and his partner navigated each challenge with love and patience.
Saying Farewell
When the time came for Cholula and her puppies to be adopted, Thom and his partner faced bittersweet emotions. Though difficult, they understood the importance of finding loving forever homes for their beloved foster family.
Embracing the Journey
Despite the inevitable goodbyes, Thom expressed his willingness to foster again, acknowledging the rewarding nature of the journey despite its challenges. For Thom, the joy of fostering outweighs the sorrow of parting ways.
