Frankie Loves Dinner Time... even in her wheels!

Question submitted by Emily, 11

Are you able to eat from a dish with your wheels on?

Absolutely yes! I love breakfast and dinner time! I think it is my favorite two times of the day. Below are three short videos my mom took of me when it was time to eat dinner. YUM!

From the grade 4's in Canada. We noticed in the video that you move really well with your wheels. We were wondering if you can do any tricks?

The Grade 5's and 6's think you are very cute when you eat Frankie!

Hey there my Canada Friends!

I was with my mom yesterday doing a school presenation and I was asked the same question, if I can do tricks. Nope, not a one! HA! I just look cute in my wheels! WOOF! I can chase after treats though if that counts for a trick!

Frankie,

You may need wheels to get around to some places but you get down to eating your food just like a the dachshund that you are! We get impatient with Mom when she is moving too slow ... which is whenever we want our food and it isn't ready yet. Roxie used to 'sit' and 'stay' but once the boys moved in, it was too much trouble to keep it up. Besides Roxie wasn't all that excited about having to do it all of the time. Tricks are over-rated. Dachsies are cute enough without tricks. :)

Frankie bouncing up and down in the traces when you say, "dinner!" and chugging over to his food bowl ... yep, that's ALL Dachshund ;-)
