We talked to Thom about how hard it is to say goodbye to each dog they foster, and why they keep doing it all over again!

00:00I got a call that there was this very, very pregnant pity at a shelter.
00:19They said she was super friendly.
00:27One night, when all the shelter staff went home, Jalula decides that it's time to have
00:32her babies.
00:35Seven girls and a boy.
00:36You did a good job.
00:37Do you have the rest?
00:38You're such a good mama.
00:39Let me see you.
00:40Oh my goodness.
00:41She was way more shy than we expected.
00:42You're avoiding eye contact.
00:43She's so shy.
00:44What's up?
00:46You're okay, sweet girl.
00:52You're okay?
00:55Let's go.
00:58Let's go home.
01:02Let's go home.
01:06Let's go home.
01:10I turned my office into a nursery
01:23and let her get settled in.
01:35She fed them 24-7.
01:41I mean, it did not stop.
01:51They'd nurse and they'd crawl around for a minute and then just pass right back
01:58out.
02:10Okay, come on, come on.
02:26At first we tried to keep our dog Ruby and her separate, but they were so drawn
02:33to each other right away. It was almost like she needed Ruby to feel safe.
02:41Oh, you're so good, you both girls.
02:50The puppies started opening their eyes.
03:02And they quickly grew out of their whelping box.
03:11Ah, your teeth are so sharp!
03:14And they started to figure out their balance.
03:19What happened to you?
03:23And they were exploring non-stop.
03:29After a few weeks...
03:32Cho-cho.
03:33Hi, mama.
03:35Cho-cho.
03:36Julia wanted to be with us more than the puppies.
03:51She was so tired all the time.
04:07I'd have to carry her to bed.
04:13And we were exhausted too.
04:23Somehow we just kept adjusting.
04:27Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.
04:41I started taking one puppy a day on an errand.
04:48Just to get them used to the sights and sounds of the world.
04:54Honey, look at me.
05:00Let me tell you, cleaning them was a full-time job.
05:10I was so happy.
05:14I love spending our mornings with Cholula watching Disney movies.
05:34After about five weeks, finally Cholula was done nursing.
05:41It's dinner time!
05:47Get your dinner here, puppy dinner!
05:51Puppy dinner for Leeks!
05:55And this was a huge turning point for her.
05:59Because now she could just play with them and be a dog.
06:03Two in love can't make it.
06:07Take my heart, but please don't break it.
06:11Love was made for me and you.
06:17Love was made for me and you.
06:21Love was made for me and you.
06:25Love was made for me and you.
06:30Love was made for me and you.
06:38Eventually we knew they were all ready to find their forever homes.
06:44So much pain!
06:48But the hardest part was saying goodbye to Cholula.
06:52I was so proud of her.
06:56And she got the perfect family.
07:06And just like that she was gone.
07:16And that's the thing with fostering.
07:20Even though it never gets easier saying goodbye,
07:25I just can't wait to do it all again.
07:31Oh, Chochita!
07:35Oh!
07:39Oh!
07:43Oh!
07:47Chochita!
07:51Chochita!
07:55Chochita!
08:05You have to live up to that shirt!
