So the foster (who, by the way is now called Foster), went to his new forever home yesterday.
While I had misgivings the day before, it felt right yesterday. I got a call this morning telling me he's settled right in, played with the neighbourhood dogs (which he couldn't with me, all he did was bark at them), slept all night in the crate without any incidence, and just all around having a great time.
Happy ending

Wonderful ending for him. Although you loved him he is a very smart breed who will flourish with someone to be able to train him and spoil him. It isn't wrong to love him and even better you found him a great home. Every animal I meet is wonderful but they aren't all the right fit for me.

Bells
I put a bell by the front door so my German Shepherd wouldn't scratch the door to go out. Works like a charm - except - when he wants to go outside & play ball with me, he rings the bells & won't stop. I created a monster. So, whenever he rings the bells - he goes out. Without me.
Sigh - be careful what you wish (train!) for!
All GREAT ideas on your new foster! Wow - we're very savvy women, aren't we?To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.
