Shay,
Thanks for posting her picture, she is adorable. I know on your other thread you said you were thinking about quitting, I don't really think you meant it though, your just tired and frustrated. There is no way looking at that face that you could give up.
When I got frustrated and ready to give up during my process the best thing for me was to take a couple of days off from the forum. I couldn't be happy for the people who were getting good news because it wasn't me and I gravitated to the people who were being negative which made it worse. Take some time off, promise yourself not to sign on and find a project to do. I'm not trying to kid you, you won't forget the sadness of missing her but I think it will help.
I hadn't originally realized that you had been fostering and then had to leave her, that must have been so painful. It was hard for us to leave after a visit I can't imagine how sad you must feel. I will keep you in my thoughts and everytime you think about quitting look at that beautiful face.
