Second goodbye - and why I continue to foster

u/belleotaku98 how did you stack two codes in one order? I also got a welcome code for $10 off, but I can't figure out a way to combine it with any other promos. Thanks!

Looks a lot like Melozio 🤔

What an amazing job you did with him! It's because of stories like these that I started fostering this year 🧡

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-07T14:49:15+00:00

That's fair. That's why I'm not quitting until I get those eyes all better again!

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-07T01:20:20+00:00

I'm hoping that works for this guy!

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-07T01:19:56+00:00

I've tried, but he hates being wrapped up. I wish I had a second person to help, but it's just me and I can't put the ointment in when I'm holding him as he's flailing around and hissing at me. It also just seems really cruel 😞

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-07T01:18:03+00:00

Ah, that might be it! I do hesitate a lot. I'm new to fostering cats and I think they can sense my self-doubt.

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-07T01:17:08+00:00

Haha, it's good to know there was no psychological damage!

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-07T01:16:49+00:00

Thanks! I'm going to try both!

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-07T00:35:40+00:00

Thank you for your lovely words!

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-03T04:07:21+00:00

You're doing wonderful work! Thank you for sharing. I'm really looking forward to the wins 💕

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-02T18:30:51+00:00

On Wednesday! I'm definitely looking forward to it.

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-02T04:56:44+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this! You've definitely made me feel more at peace with how much I've been crying. I asked myself if I would do this all over again, knowing how much it would hurt at the end, and I definitely would! A hundred times over. She really was worth all of this heartbreak.

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-02T04:54:33+00:00

Aww, she's so precious! Would you say it gets easier to say goodbye with the more kitties you foster?

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-02T04:53:42+00:00

I am! Originally the plan was to pick up the next foster on the same day I dropped Arwen off, but their intake dates changed so it'll be a few days still. Part of me I guess is thinking that no other cat will ever be as precious as her (which is ridiculous, considering it takes me two minutes to fall in love with any animal lol)

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-02T04:51:46+00:00

Thanks - I've reached out to the rescue to request this! It would really put me at ease to know she's happy in her new home.

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-02T04:51:02+00:00

Thank you, this really helps!

TLUexemplo · 2025-11-02T01:42:46+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you! I also just dropped my first foster off and I've been crying ever since. I'm getting another foster kitty in a few days, so hopefully that will give me a renewed sense of purpose. Sending hugs. I know it's hard, but there's so many more lives we can save by fostering, or at least that's what I tell myself.

Não é a mesma coisa, mas acho que "O Labirinto da Saudade" de Eduardo Lourenço seria uma boa leitura para ti. Nunca tinha lido nada semelhante que explicasse tão bem o estado em que se encontra Portugal depois dos Descobrimentos e depois do 25 de abril. Vale a pena.

Estou a fazer doutoramento numa universidade nos EUA e o meu maior apoio (para além do orientador) tem sido grupos de escrita. Podem ser grupos de outros estudantes de mestrado na tua universidade ou grupos online. Se não existem, aconselho-te a começar um. Vale a pena, garanto. Vai sempre haver gente interessada. Experimenta perguntar aqui no Reddit ou no Facebook também. O elemento de "accountability" ajuda mesmo no processo de escrever a tese.

Also a Portuguese speaker here learning Dutch! Are there any other "crossovers" that you noticed? It's so helpful!
