Poor, Poor Frankie... Does No one Want Her?

Here I am in my kennel, where sometimes I have to hang out when Mom and Papa eat dinner.  Ok, so this usually happens when I sit on the floor and whine, so I am "sent to my room." So then I try my "oh poor rescue dog needs a home" look by putting my snout through the opening. You guessed it- that does not work either. But hey, you can't blame a little dog for tryin' right?

Oh goodness! We used to stick our noses through when we had a kennel. We did that trick, too! It didn't work for us either.
