Did Frankie's Mom get Frankie as a Puppy?

Question submitted by Matthew, age 10

You'd think with ALL the photo's my mom has of me, she'd have a photo from when I was a pup! She can't find one...but I'll hand over the key board to her to answer this question.

Hi there, Frankie's mom here... yes, I got Frankie as a pup. She was about 12-weeks when I brought her home. She was the size of a Guinea pig! I held her ALL the time. She lived on a wiener dog farm with oodles of other wiener dogs... there were wiener dogs everywhere! On the sofa, on the chairs, on the beds, on the pillows on the floor, hanging from the chandelier... err, scratch that last one. Just kidding. But believe me, there were oodles and oodles of wiener dogs everywhere I looked!

Of my three dogs, I got one as a pup and the other two were already adults. In fact, we don't know how old they are.
