*Heavens, Frieda Is Going For Easy Bake Oven Removal*

Oh my, the lovely Frieda has been scheduled for removal of her easy-bake oven next Thursday, May 7th at the Dog Spa!!! Keep the lovely Frieda in your prayers, animal lovers! Frank knows that this is so necessary, even if only to keep her from turning nasty 'that time of the month'! She also could very well start taking on the traits of her predecessor, the lovely Sissy! She could begin to hog Frank's toys and bones, and bare her teeth when Dog/Daddy Steve is not looking without this necessary surgical intervention. She could turn moody and grouchy and crave sweets. Even though Frank and Steve will miss her, she will be a better dachshund for it. You go girl, best wishes for an early recovery Frieda!!!

*Frank's Dog/Daddy, Steve*

This is a rather nice photo of Frank, prior to meeting the lovely Frieda, on the patio of his home with his Dog/Daddy Steve. Frank had been explaining his loneliness and the need for companionship to his Dog/Daddy and the lovely Charlotte, his Dog/Grandmother! With the understanding and compassion that comes from mutual animal lovers, and even though she is a TOTAL CAT FREAK, Charlotte convinced Steve that he needed to find a companion for Frank. This is reaffirmed and seconded by the lovely Holly, his Dog/Aunt, the mother of Baxter. Discussion was held over a few 'alcoholic' beverages, but was nonetheless, effective.............resulting in the purchase of the gorgeous Frieda!!

*Frank's Outdoor Post For Bulldog Guard Duty at Night*

This is a picture of Frank's outdoor Bulldog Guard House. He is able to spy squirrels, birds, cats and unknown intruders from this hideout. His Dog/Daddy Steve built it for him and even personalized it with his name! If he tires a little from his frequent yard runs, or if he is incognito or in disguise, he uses this as his hideout. He looks quite fetching in it don't you think? He recently posed for the lovely Holly, his Dog/Aunt. This is also far better than the cardboard boxes his Dog/Grandmother, the lovely Charlotte, gives to her cats (he he)!

*Frank's Recent Visitors From The Tundra*

Frank recently had visitors from the Tundra to see his Dog/Daddy. Above is the lovely Holly, who is his Dog/Aunt and loves to spoil Frank. At home, she has a husband, 2 boys who excel in sports and a gorgeous little Sheltie by the name of Baxter. They live on large acreage in Armada, MI. where Baxter runs free in a fenced yard. Baxter, however, is afraid of wind and rain, and well just about everything else, so he doesn't do all night Bulldog duty like Frank does. Baxter is even taken to a groomer (A dog hairdresser!!) if you can believe that?

My First Wife, The Former Sissy..........

I should mention that prior to my current wife, Frieda, I lived for a sort time with the lovely Sissy! Sissy was an older dachshund, a literal German Hausfrau who was very set in her ways and refused to bend. She didn't like to share my dog bones and frequently bared her teeth at me, especially when my DogDad, Steve, wasn't looking. She was a small, but mighty, little lady who passed over the Rainbow Bridge shortly after leaving our family. You are missed, Sissy!!

The Lovely Frieda Enters Frank's Life

At last, I have found a wife/dog who will love me for something other than my dog bones! The lovely Frieda entered my life on Friday, April 24th, 2009. My DogDaddy Steve was aware of my need for companionship and got me Frieda. Isn't she sweet? She is about 6 months old and weighs about 10 pounds. Over the weekend, we helped our DogDaddy plant a new garden in his yard. The cat, Priscilla, is not entirely thrilled with the addition to our family, but you know how cats are about 'territory'!

The Story and how it began.............

Once upon a time, in a land not far away, there lived a little dog by the name of Frank. He lived at a nice home in the suburbs of Atlanta with his dog daddy, Steve. Frank went to live with Steve in 2006 as a puppy and this is the deck where Steve relaxes and sips his Cervesa and Frank runs in the yard and barks and digs holes.

Currently, Frank is 18 pounds and 3 years old, and the best guard dog in the world. His DogDaddy even had to put a Bulldog guard sign out front due to the viciousness of Frank to warn any potential squirrels, black cats. or other intruders! Frank has pathways in Steve's yard and is vigilant about patrolling the yard, sometimes even working the entire night shift.
