Frank checking in

Hi everyone, this is Frank checking in – I went by the name Frank at Animatch and my owners think it’s the perfect name so I’m keeping it for good.  I’ve been at my new home for over a month now and so far so good. I have an old man friend here who comes from Animatch as well – his name was Cow Slipper when he was there but now goes by the name Kramer. Phew, that’s a lot easier for me to remember!
There’s even a cat here. I don’t remember ever being around cats so for the first few weeks I would follow him everywhere. Why doesn’t he bark? Why does he do his business in that box full of sand? Why doesn’t he come for walks with us? How does he move around the house so quietly? His name is Bumps and he enjoys playing with my ears and tail – that’s fine by me so long as we all get along. Bumps is a lot younger than me and has tons of energy so I tend to just lay back with Kramer and enjoy the sights and sounds.
I’ve been told I’ll be going to obedience courses next month to brush up on a few skills and to learn to not be so chatty when it’s feeding time. It seems I’m the only one talking their heads off when the food is being prepared. Don’t the other guys see what all the fuss is about!?! I’m looking forward to obedience though – I will prove to everyone that an old dog can learn new tricks!

Time to get back to napping… I can hear Kramer snoring away and my bed is calling me.

Oh, one more important thing before I go: I owe a big thanks to everyone at Animatch for giving me a second chance at life (a good life, rather). I now believe in a future full of walks, food, belly rubs, toys and a warm bed, not to mention my 2 furry friends, Kramer & Bumps! This whole experience has instilled new faith in humanity, thank you Animatch people.

Bye for now! See you all at the Bark n Brunch!

    It’s great to hear from you Frank !
    We miss you, but we’re happy you have found such a nice home where you can now rest when you want to, it’s not as hectic as at the Centre, that’s for sure.
    Thank you so much for writing, really enjoyed reading all about you and your new life.
    Also glad your new owners kept your name, we too found it suited you.
    See you at the Bark & Brunch !
