Frankie: True Hollywood Story

Today I'm a kitty

Poopie....It's raining today and is supposed to all week so it'll be very hard for me to get my proper walking and exercise. As much as I love my home and having free reign of the house when Mommy and Daddy are away, I really do look forward to getting out, checking my territory, and getting in a good walking.

But when it's raining I don't really care for getting to wet, nor do my parents like me walking back in the house with dirty and muddy furnishings.

However, on the bright side of it being rainy, I do get more chances and opportunities to snuggle and keep warm. There's nothing like a warm lap first thing in the morning, or the extra covers I get at night when I go to bed.

This morning, when Daddy was having his pre-work coffee and watching the TV, I was able to crawl right up on his lap and curl myself into a little ball which he could pet. Oh, and it felt so good. Much better than usual....maybe it had to do with the rain outside, but I began to 'purr' like those silly little cats I hear about. Well, it may not be exactly like a kitty purr, but it is my doggy equivelant...a low moan/sigh coming deep within telling Daddy how relaxed I was and how much I like it. That made Daddy smile and I like it when I please my Daddy.

I can't wait for him to come hoem tonight and maybe do it again!

Icky Vet Visit

Well I had a fabulous Christmas. I got a lot of attention including some new toys and treats and was able to sport my Christmas outfit for everyone to see.

It was alos very nice to have both Mommy and Daddy home for so many days, although Daddy came down with a nasty case of Bronchitis and was on bed/couch rest for a few days while he continues his slow recovery.

Another highlight was getting to go on a special day walk with both Mommy and Daddy at the Irvine Spectrum. It was so nice to be outside in the afternoon among new smells and people, plus I attracted a lot of attention because I'm so cute.

The only bad thing that happened was Daddy did take me to the vet for an annual physical and teeth cleaning on teh 29th. I did not like this one bit as I had to be there all day long. It was very traumatic and I was scared. Daddy couldn't stay with me and I had no idea I was going to be there so long. When I was finally picked up, I ran into Daddy's arms and didn't want him to leave me alone any longer. I whined and cried for a long time when we got home as to wondering if I did anything wrong. Daddy assured me he would never leave me and that sometimes a bad day is needed so I can spend many more years with him in good health. See that day I had a shot, blood test, teeth cleaned, ear hair plucked and more. The anesthetic made me a little queasy as well.

But now it's all over and things are back to nomal and I passed all my tests with flying colors!!

Christmas photos!

Oh my goodness...Where did the time go this year? It seems not that allful long ago we were celebrating Christmas last year, and here we go again in just a few short days.

Well, this year it seems to be busier at my house with my human sister now there. Also grandpa Olson comes by at least 2-3 times a week and we go for nice long walks.

Then there is mommy decorating the house and daddy wrapping presents.

This past Friday, I got my Christmas grooming. I got all nice and clean for the whole family when they come down in a few days. See, daddy is cooking Christmas Eve dinner again this year and his family will be coming over for the day. That means I will be getting a lot of attention and love, and I'm sure I'll sneak a few treats as well. I'm sure I'll even get presents.

But one of the best things is that Daddy will be home 10 straight days and Mommy will be home most of the time as well and I'll have a lot of company and time with them both. As a matter of fact, Daddy even hinted on taking me for a special walk maybe with Mommy tomorrow night about the lake in town where we can see all the pretty lights at night. Yippee!

Last night, since I'm all clean and grommed, I donned my Christmas outfit for pictures. Daddy changed my profile picture here on Dogster to reflect that for the next few days. He plans on sending out Christmas cards as well with my picture. It was a little annoying and fun at the same time. I got so many kibbe treats last night while I posed for my pictures, but it is so hard to remain calm when all those goodies and scrumptious smells and tastes are so close at hand. But I did real good and Daddy was able to coax about 12 pictures out of me.

Hope you all have a merry Christmas!! Thank you Jesus for my life and my family!
