Trigger Warning! This episode discusses death, grief and loss, and emotional stories of pet loss.
In this episode, I (your host Julie Marty-Pearson) talk about my experience fostering for the first time. I currently volunteer for my local animal shelter and recently decided I wanted to try fostering a kitten for the first time. I was given Bryce, aka Binx, to bring home and care for. He was a 5-week old kitten found alone, outside. When he was brought to the shelter he was covered in fleas and severely malnourished. He was dehydrated and anemic from all the fleas. My job as his Foster Mom was to give me a safe, comfortable, and loving home. I fed him, give him his medicine (iron) and monitored his progress and behavior. In this unedited episode, I tell the story of Binx and how the 5 days he lived with me changed my life forever.
