This weekend was filled with lots of naps for the Frankenstein. I wish I could say most of them were brought on by the pain meds but truthfully you can’t keep a happy dog caged. Thursday and Friday were quiet as Frankie remembered how to live in the house again. He found a nice cool spot and camped out in our bathroom most of the day. Friday night Ayden came to our house for the weekend and the spoiling continued. Saturday morning was colder at our house, which is perfect Frankie weather. I tried to keep up with him as he hopped around the yard. I gave up! I closed all the gate to he pastures and let him run around the yard. As long as he didn’t roll onto his stitches, I just let him be a dog. This all resulted in a super long nap, it gave me time to run to the store. Sunday my parents and grandparents came over to celebrate Christmas/birthdays/anniversaries/valentines day. We had it planned for a week now but I was a little worried it would be too much for The Frank. Nope, he proved me wrong. He ran to the gate to greet their car. Even attempted to pee on their tire in true Frankie fashion. We gave him a bone to chew on during our dinner and gifts, but he seemed to be doing really well. He went to bed early and slept through the night in his crate. Today I am back at work for a full day and Frankie is tucked in his warm bed after his morning walk. I am surprised and amazed at how quickly he is bouncing back. There is just no way to keep a good dog down,with 3 or 4 legs.
Thanks for the great update! Keep up the good work Frankie! 🙂
I’m so happy for you! Frankie sounds pretty determined to be a dog. Baby was the happiest when she could act normally again. Don’t get to concerned if Frankie has a low energy, kind of down day along the way. It’s very normal, but could feel like a worry when he’s been doing so well. Part of it is the meds. Hopefully, he’ll just keep on truckin’!

That 4th leg? It was just a spare! Go Frankie Go!!! Just don’t go pee on my tires =)
Frankie loves being a dog and I need to remember that….but I will still baby him more than my husband thinks I should.
