Frankie
Frankie came to WRNT in December 2004. He was very old, in declining health, but still had that precious Westie spirit. My veterinarian estimated that Frankie was anywhere from 12 - 15 years of age. The older guys seem to be so appreciative of a nice, warm, loving place to stay. He just looked into my eyes and I knew this is where he would spend the rest of his days. No matter how old a dog gets, they still amazingly give love unconditionally.
Frankie
assimilated into our lives with ease even though he was joining a pack of much
younger dogs, Queenie, Twinkie, and a recent rescue Badger. Badger was just a
pup, but Frankie tolerated his silliness like the wise old soul that he was.
Frankie took to Queenie, who was 11 years young, quite well and frequently was
caught cuddling up with her for an afternoon nap.
Due to his age, Frankie was allowed to just kind of hang out and do his own thing. He got around very well and really enjoyed his new freedom. He loved to lay out in the sun in the back yard. He used the doggie door with ease and would spend most of the winter afternoons enjoying the outdoors. He would come in only to eat, get a drink of water, and get some much needed attention. Oh and how he loved to eat! He was very thin when he came to us so he got a little extra sampling here and there. He loved treats and was ever so gentle taking them out of your hand. Everyone snuck him a little something. He wasn't about to let on.
Frankie
was not with us very long, but the time we had with him was priceless. Each and
every dog brings such a wonderful, sweet spirit to our home. Frankie acted like
he had lived here his entire life. I am so grateful for the time, ever so short
as it was, that I got to know this precious, precious dog. He was so gentle and
loving even after being abandoned at the animal shelter. He touched our lives
immensely with his gentleness and sweet kisses.
What a precious little guy you were Frankie. We love you and miss you. I am glad you are now free to finally get after those silly squirrels, play with all of the other dogs, and eat treats all day.
