Frankie and Sparkles Making the News- Far & Wide!

I've been catching up on my naps after my whirlwind mini-tour with Sparkles the Safety Dog last week!  Now the news of our adventure is spreading far and wide... pretty hot-diggity dog exciting!  Today in the Courier News in Russelville, Arkansas our story was featured as "Virtual Friends."  Cara, the reporter did a tail waggin' good job of interviewing my mom, Barbara, and Sparkles mom, Dayna.  You can read the full story at Courier News.

Pillow Fight!




OK, so not really a pillow fight... but I think you'd rather cuddle with this pillow. A fan of mine, Wendy sent me this pawsome picture of her with her Christmas gift.. yup, that is yours truly on the pillow. It does look like me, now don't you think? Woof! Wendy's doxie's Gretta and Elliott like to hang out with me too... awww, I love you guys! If you want to cuddle with me you can too with a Frankie pillow from my Cafe Press store. You'll find lots of other goodies there too!
