Anyone want to foster him?

You know I'd love to, but I'm just not sure how four St. Bernards would fit into the house (with a Great Dane) and I know for sure I'd end up adopting him.

Ok, for once I am playing devils advocate in this situation. I had a bunch of cats, along with my dog. My husband and I had chosen seven cats, raised each from kitten, and taken very good care of them. It was a lot of work. As many of you know, he passed away almost two years ago, and I held on to them as a part of him and us. Last summer, I realized that I could no longer keep up with all of them, and started prioritizing who I could deal with staying and going. It was HELL. I was very lucky in that several of my friends offered to help me out and take some. Now I have a more manageable number. I still miss my babies, but I know they are happy, although I will not visit them.

Sometimes, situations change. You have to give people the benefit of the doubt. At least they are trying to find it a loving home. The first dog we got as children was a pedigreed perfect English Bulldog, extremely healthy, because the owners could not spend the time necessary with it.
