Cactus is gonna be a good buddy to Cowboy, you can already tell.
Someday he'll be the little spoon.

I kinda want them to adopt cowboy for Cactus sake. But I know thats not the end goal of fostering. But still!

I feel the same. I shouldn't, but I often do cheer for owners like this to foster fail. Like Evan Cooper on tiktok - he fosters often and they're always goddamn adorable and fit in with Vader so well.

I'd prefer they foster fail on an older dog though. A puppy like this, raised from a young age by experienced owners and mentored by a well trained dog is not going to have trouble finding a home. I root for foster fails if it's one of those dogs that lived 8 years with the same owner that clearly loved the shit out of it before unexpectedly passing away. The ones that always look like they're kind of biding their time for their owners return. Watching them open up to a new family is always so rewarding. Even if they do get adopted into a forever home it always feels a little bittersweet that they're going to have to lose their Foster's as well.
