Saying Bye Bye to Fosters ?

[twiams]

i was arranged to have 2 foster piggies for a week, but due to a few things, i've had my foster piggies now for over a month, when it was just for a week i thought it would be fine and i wouldn't get attached, but, they now wheek for veggies, they've started coming to the side of the cage to say hello, and since one of them got ill, Eddie, giving him his medication everyday made me bond with him alot, and now i just don't know how I'm going to say goodbye!

Has anyone experienced the same thing ?

no, but i am sure i would feel the same, can you not keep them?

Know the feeling. I grow very fond of all my foster babies. I don't think you'd be human if you didn't to some degree.
I find the easiest way to say goodbye is to remember that they're going to a lovely forever home. And...you wouldn't have room to help any more animals if you kept every foster baby. Then I generally shed a few tears and get lots of cuddles from my own pets.

I would keep them if i could, but someone has already said they're having them it's now just waiting game on when.

Thanks Herriotfan, made me feel a bit better, i think i'll keep what you said in mind, there's 3 pregnant girls from the same rescue load, so i'll try to think of fostering them to make it easier, i just hate not knowing when they're going, and things, makes me feel like i should make the most of all the time i have, but then I'm worried by doing that I'm neglecting my own pigs, and becoming more attached !
