I think Balboa quickly got used to the new situation. Animals are emotional, but not quite as sentimental as people. He was able to say goodbye to his mum, then went off to play and was soon crying for milk. But the animal aunties he asked for it didn't give it to him...
This is of course an overwhelming affair of the heart. But it will be even more touching to have to part with the foster child at some point.

As long as you can manage showing up, all is acceptable. ((:

Thank you, that's very generous of you... ;-)
