Keeping Pawley (failed foster)

I dont know if any of you remember Pawley. He came right before Beau passed away. Big clumsy redhead that is just the sweetest puppy. After Beau passed away, I said I would just keep fostering and not adopting anymore but Pawley stole my heart. Here is why..

He seems to know exactly when I am starting to feel sad and comes and lays next to me and puts his head on my lap. One example is one night I walked into the bedroom to go to the bathroom. I didnt turn on any lights because Tim was sleeping. Walked into the bathroom and saw a dark spot on the floor and went to step over it. Beau used to sleep in the bathroom so I was always stepping over him. I stopped and actually thought "dont want to step on Beau". When I got into the bathroom I remembered and started getting all sad again and tearing up. Walked back into the living room and sat down crying. Not making any noise or anything Pawley walked over to me and got on the couch, leaned up against me and put his head on my shoulder then licked my face. He just leans on me when I am standing there and just cuddles all the time (when not wrestling with Bama) with me and Tim. He is just the biggest love muffin just like Beau was. So it is like having my Beau again.

I know that Pawley cant replace Beau but he has been so comforting to me, the rescue said we could keep him. It is like he has a old dog spirit in him with the fun spunkiness of a young dog. And we could swim together in the pool. Me and him will just swim and swim around the pool and he will even let you roll him on his back and rub his belly while he floats. Never seen anything like it.
