Meet the newest member of the LIW family....

[Left Is Write]

This is Frankie! He's a nine-month-old border collie mix. He's sweet and loving. He doesn't mind our cat at all, though the cat will need to get used to having him around.

Kudos to anyone who remembers the cat's name and knows why we named the dog Frankie (it's good, though, 'cause he LOOKS like a Frankie!).

1. Awwww... I love doggies!

Now kiss him and rub his belly for me.

:hug:

P.S. I don't know that I ever heard your cat's name - it wouldn't be Annette, would it? Or Johnny?

[Richardo]

2. Did someone say 'Belly rub'?

Sophie wonders if she can get in on that action. :D

[Clark2008]

24. Is dat a widdle Jack Russell?

Awww... I'd rub her bewwy.

[Richardo]

46. Yes she is.

...and she thanks you for the belly rub! :hi:

[Left Is Write]

And "no" on the cat's name. ;)

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hi Frankie!

You sure are a handsome boy! :loveya:

[Left Is Write]

31. Frankie says hi!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

18. awww

so cute. mi mancano i miei cani,

i miss my dogssss. may 10th = reunion with them!

[Left Is Write]

32. This one is definitely a lover. We took him on a shopping spree to Petco...

and he sat in my lap in the front seat, all snuggled up.

[Wapsie B]

19. Hi Frankie!

He looks like a big bundle of energy. Fast as a bolt of lightening I bet.

[Left Is Write]

33. He is! He still needs some work on leash training, but he'll be a great dog

to go for a run with in the mornings.

And we have a nice big backyard for him to play in.

[Kali]

52. and in the evening, and in the mid-day and in between

borders = energy

[Left Is Write]

55. LOL! True. My mom said I need to find a job for him.

I don't think I'll ever be able to get anything done anymore, 'cause all I want to do is lay around and snuggle with the dog. He just watched TV with me for a little while.

[Kali]

63. He will herd kids and cats or

get him a duck:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

64. That's what Mom said!

She said to give him a duck.

Herding the kids...maybe that WOULD be a good job for him. They can't wait to play outside with him. My 7-year-old insisted we had to buy some tennis balls for him.

[Whoa_Nelly]

20. What a sweetie!

Congrats! :hi: :loveya:


Seneca says Hi!

[Left Is Write]

34. Hi, Seneca!

[hippywife]

21. He's a real cutie!

Reminds me of my girl, Babe. She's about 8 years old.

[Left Is Write]

35. She's very pretty.

We've met so many dogs recently, but I just knew when we met Frankie that he was The One.

[yurbud]

22. what's the other half of the mix?

[Left Is Write]

29. We're not sure, but my best guess would be lab.

He's a smart one, that's for sure.

[yurbud]

66. so he's a test tube dog? made in the lab?

[RiffRandell]

23. He is so cute!

Love the name!

[Left Is Write]

36. Thanks!

[driver8]

25. What a sweet looking boy! He looks pretty happy in his new home!! n/t

[Left Is Write]

37. He's just a doll!

He's running around the house now, getting to know the lay of the land.

[Skittles]

26. that dog looks simply ecstatic

yes INDEED :D

[Left Is Write]

38. I think that he is happy. The humane society volunteer who introduced us

thinks that our family will be just right for him.

[Skittles]

40. his look tells me he cannot believe his good luck

this is IT!!!! he is thinking :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Welcome to your new home, beautiful Frankie!

He's gorgeous, my dear Left Is Write!

I wish all of you many happy, happy years...... :grouphug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. Thanks! He's so lovey. He's trying to sit in my lap right now, but there's not room in my chair.

[seemunkee]

41. Good looking dog

He looks happy to be a part of the family.

[Left Is Write]

43. Thanks! We are happy to have him.

[Maestro]

44. Precious

Have fun with Frankie....

[Left Is Write]

48. We will. Tomorrow is our first full day with him, so we'll spend lots of time

getting to know each other.

[Redstone]

49. WHO's the good boy? That's right, Frankie! YOU're the good boy! Good doggie!

Redstone

[Left Is Write]

56. He is such a good doggie!

[achtung_circus]

51. Is Frankie a good dog

or is Frankie a wotten dog, Oh yes, I'll bet Frankie is a wotten dog and I can tell, cuz I'm a twained expert and everything (dissolves in a puddle of booga boogas).

[Left Is Write]

57. He's a good doggie. Yes, he is!

[u4ic]

53. Look at that face!!

Frankie is such a cutie! :-)

[Left Is Write]

59. I think so too. He's a handsome dog!

[Critters2]

54. He's beautiful, LIW! Congrats!

Welcome to DU, Frankie!!:hi:

[Left Is Write]

60. Thanks! Frankie seems to like my office, so he'll probably be reading DU over my shoulder a lot.

[Cabcere]

62. Aww, what a cutie!

:loveya: Frankie is adorable. Dogs are great! (For the record, I love cats, too...but dogs are just so honest and loving and loyal.) :loveya: Thanks for sharing with us, Left Is Write - those doggie pictures may have just made my evening! :hi:

[Left Is Write]

65. I'm glad!

I expect before too long I'll have a memory card FULL of Frankie pictures.

[Nicole]

67. What a great dog!

I love border collies, mixed or full blood.

Hope Frankie is with you many years. :)

[Left Is Write]

68. I hope so too. Thanks!
