Frank and Me

Those of you who follow this blog may know that I have a new(ish) dog at home. Frank. We got him in August and he just turned one on February 12th. Wellllll, Frank has been getting into a whole bunch of trouble lately, including but not limited to, a bunch of very expensive vet visits, an unfriendly scuffle at the dog park, and an ibuprofen eating incident (also expensive).

I've been joking that I need to write a best seller about him and his bad behavior (ie; Marley), to be able to pay for him and all his bad behavior.

Here's the man, the myth, the legend himself:

He's handsome right? Not so much when I'm walking him and he's lunging at the nearest person/dog/car/squirrel/blade of grass/ ladybug.....

That left photo sure shows him at his handsomest. Forget the book; cast him in a movie! Think Brando, Dean, and now Bad Dog Frank!

Oh, he is so cute! But he is definitely too big to not be well-behaved on walks. Good luck with the training.
