I Set My Foster Puppies Free...

[@dolores9141]

I have experienced the loss of pets also, and agreed, it hurts. Take all the time you need before you decide to foster again and never forget that you are important to and loved by a lot of people, your family, friends, and millions of supporters. You rock, Joey, and if you celebrate, I hope you have a nice Easter.

[@TCat13]

These are such kind thoughts Dolores, and beautifully stated. I agree with everything you said 💜

Most fosters get Compassion Fatigue and Burnout at some point, especially after stuff like this happens, so you're not alone and it's absolutely okay to take a break. Grieve, take some time, rejuve yourself. Praying for you, Joey.

It’s not easy losing a pet! You did the best you could possibly do for them! You are such a good foster parent!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Rosewolf29]

Losing a pet, especially a young one is never easy. It always sucks, but the bright side is they were safe and warm and well fed with their mother rather than out in the cold hungry and alone. That's...that's the best way I can put it. The boys are so cute I want them all but I'd be lucky to take one. Whoever gets them is gonna be really lucky and happy.

[@MDev1997]

The loss of a pet is INCREDIBLY traumatic. Take all the time you need ❤️

Joey, you are such a kind soul... I know losing pets, especially puppies can be really hard to deal with... Please take the time to grieve, rest for a while, and foster again when you are ready. Your mental health is important to us!

[@piperforever8320]

I know you have been through an emotional and terrible time but please Joey don't stop fostering. You are a very special person to do what you do and animals need more people like you.

[@jacquelynp1403]

I know what you went through, loss is hard, no matter if it’s two or four legged being. But realize if it wasn’t for you, possibly none of these puppies would be here. You don’t lose lives, you save them.

[@alifeintransition9782]

I was so hurt with the loss of the puppies so I can't even imagine what you are going through because you are fostering them. Take comfort in knowing you are great as a foster dad if you don't believe me look at momma May's children, Loki (Dec), Jersey (Jan), Marshall (March), Kitana(Nov), Karen and October. Look how healthy and well they are doing and it was under your fostering care. Take your time coming back and reflect on the ones you have helped.

[@TCat13]

Aww, I love how vocal "Momager" Daisy is... She sure did make some cute and gorgeous babies 💜 It's totally understandable that you need a bit of space and time away from vlogging at your usual pace, Joey. I'm sure all that happened with the girls was rough on your soul. I think that ultimately, the experience will have made you an even stronger and more knowledgeable foster parent, and you're already a natural at it. Really glad you are taking some time to heal 💙

[@TheGMRGIRL]

You are an amazing human being. Thank you for rescuing and doing all that you do. I rescue as well. 7 rescue doggos atm... in a small condo but I make it work! Love from us all: Kristin, Cleo, Eve, Subaru, Harlow, Tychus, Nova and Obi Wan.

[@lhmcd5538]

Please take care of yourself. You are important so don’t sell yourself short. The loss of an animal that you love and care for is very painful. You take all of the time you need to feel good about fostering again with a cats or dogs. You may never feel right to do it again and that will be ok too. You have to look after yourself so please take care and stay safe.

[@bce4au]

I know losing the girls must have been so so hard. It was hard to watch. I lost my baby girl a couple years ago. She had been my baby for 11 years. She was the best dog. So, I know losing one really rips your heart out. But I felt led to say that even tho you feel sad & are taking a break from pups, just know & remind yourself how much good you’re doing for them & all the pups you’ve fostered. With you, they are loved & have a wonderful place to call home until they go to their forever homes. & that’s worth a hell of a whole lot. 🤍

Loosing any type of animal is such an emotional heartache. No-one can put a time on how long it takes for our hearts to heal!! Our beautiful husky passed last month, having spent fifteen memorable years with us. Yesterday, we opened our hearts to yet another rescue hound. (we have two rescues at the moment) Why so soon you ask?, it's because we have to be strong. There are so many abandoned animals out there that need our help 💜💜💜

Gosh, you are so lovely. Ive been watching you since i was 18 (11 years ago) and it never gets old. When you came out it inspired me to as well, to finally step into who i am. I can’t express how grateful i am that you exist. I don’t know that you’ll even see this, i just know that if it weren’t for you my life would not be as authentic and blessed as it is. I wouldnt love myself as purely as i do if you didnt show so much courage to be you in front of the whole world. You’re still so inspirational after all these years and I genuinely believe you are an earth angel, helping others to step into their power just by being a beautiful example. I trust energy over everything and yours had always been so kind and pure and the beauty of your vulnerability to love and be yourself is absolutely beyond words. Thank you for being you, for being so strong and capable, for inspiring me and so many others.

[@angelmariejones9015]

Just an idea Joey, but if you do ever foster a preggers mumma again, maybe you could leave a light on for her at night time, so she can see where she is sitting, just incase it was what you thought originally. I.e that she might have sat on them..(maybe it could help). None of it was your fault

I've been raising chickens/chicks for going on 3 years now. As usually happens with chickens, we have had some chicks that had issues either early on and some even weeks down the road. One even passed away in my hand. Right now we have another chick that might not make it. It's devastating every time. A life is a life. I'm so sorry that that happened with the puppies. I just wanted to say that when raising up lots of volume in baby animals, genetic issues are bound to happen and you are bound to witness it. It's a part of the job, unfortunately. The best we can do is educate ourselves about crisis care for the animals and be ready to accept what comes knowing you're prepared. You, at the end of the day, are doing an AMAZING thing and any amount of time they get to be cared for by someone who truly loves them is incredible and all anyone could ask for, really. I just wanted to say hang in there, I'm proud of you, keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. A break is also understandable! We love you, you're the best dog dad/foster parent ever 🥰

[@sharikurzh732]

Awww - Joey, I'm so sorry for the pain that your heart is going through! It's probably even harder because from my observations of you with both animals and people, I get the feeling that you are a true empath taking on all of the emotions from others. I hope that you know deep down in your heart that you did above and beyond what was called for. I know that doesn't make the guilt inside of you go away, but sometimes life just happens and it's beyond shocking when the ending is not only something that you never thought of, but it just seems so wrong! I know that it will take awhile to recover from this, but what gives me Hope and Happiness is the thought that when it's Your time to leave this Earth (I am Not trying to be maudlin or morbid in any way and am talking about a long time from now)!! But, think of how many Beautiful neglected dogs, cats and any other animals you've taken care of have learned what it means to be Loved! That is the Greatest Gift anyone can ever give. So, when I think of you getting ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge my mind is just filled with So Much Love and Happiness (I am definitely talking Unicorns and Rainbows)!!! Of all of these Puppies, Kittens, Dogs, and Cats just running as fast as they can to YOU just to give a smidgen of Your Love back to You!!! They will All be Healthy and Trauma Free and then just maybe You will realize what a Huge Impact/Difference You have made here on Earth! Remember, it's always about the Ripples that are created which creates Change. Take however much time you need to Heal from the inside out, you have definitely earned it. But, remember the saying about riding Horses, if you fall, Don't quit or get discouraged - get back on that Horse and keep trying until you're riding off into the wind! You will know when the time is right for you to Foster again and I'm looking forward to hearing your infectious laughter and seeing that beautiful smile on your face!!! I'm allowed to say these things because I am an Old Cranky Grandma who has lived through a lot of S**t 💩💩💩 🐶 😻 💖 😇 💙 God Bless You❣❣
