Look at my best friend sleeping. 🥰 What a sweetheart. 76 days until he turns 17!
Frank's ear cleaning services now open apparently.
When you can't get settled and all you really needed was some love from your hooman...your Muh-ma. Wanna know one of the reasons that I just lovems this tiny elderly dog? That crooked hand of mine doesn't bother him one bit. He's never judged me for it and he actually seems to enjoy my pets so much that he leans into them. So yeah, Frankin Beans is pretty cool beans. Well all of the animals that have crossed my life's path have been the same way.
Someone had a great check up today! As you can see, he doesn't need his wheelchair. I'll post the treat he received on the way home tomorrow. This dog has the favor of God all over him.
🤣 He's still the same little weirdo I brought into my life 16 years ago. Why he insists on sleeping this way, I don't know. You might hear my French Angora snoring in the background too.

Nine more days!!! Y'all... I'm still learning from this little dog that just refuses to give up! 🥰
Check this out! We like to announce our upcoming event. In 16 days Frankin Boreguard The Tank Beans will be 16 years old! I cannot thank God enough for letting my best friend live beyond two terminal illnesses and his fifth round with IVDD. I don't mind being the handicapped lady with the handicapped dog, but look at my boy go with those back legs! The hubby said that he's going to "Share a Steak with Frank" on his birthday. So I'm making it a thing. I'll post our's and y'all can post your's on September 21st. I'll make an actual event too.
Y'ALL! I believe that when you have something bad happen that you should look to find the good. As I was vacuuming up the indoor farm 😂 trying to think of ways to figure out where a piece of mail went, I look over to see Frankie standing himself up to get a drink! Now this is right after that because I had to get my phone. So he isn't standing all the way up in this one, but seriously... I'm so grateful for all that God is doing for my tiny warrior dog of survival! I still cannot believe that Frankin Beans is alive and going to be sixteen in less than a month. 🥰 *No worries about the licking. He was making sure that I didn't miss anything like the rogue piece of dog food that I vacuumed up.

We've been sitting on this for about a week to see if it was something that was sticking around. Check out that back right leg trying to work like it used to! We don't always use Frank's wheels because sometimes he wants to go out quick and it takes a bit to get him in them. We've seen him starting to use his back legs, right more than left, when we walk him in the sling. This is amazing to me as it is his fifth time with IVDD, never needing surgery, being almost sixteen (on 9/21), and he's holding up with two terminal illnesses. He hasn't been on any meds for about two weeks now because they were causing him some side effects that seemed to take away from his quality of life. Something that I know all too well. I'm going to look into water therapy for him and see what else may be available to help my warrior buddy out. Oh and he's still wagging that tail when I come home.
Guess who's getting used to leash wheelin'! 😁 He's much more relaxed when we leave now that he goes in the wheelchair instead of staying in his laundry basket. Almost back to his regular bathroom schedule too. It's been a task because my sleep has been so off since the surgery.
