Thank you again Chewy for sending me this in memory of my best friend! It'll make porch sitting without him a bit easier this year.

Alister is using Frank's attire for business purposes. He had to meet with his veterinarian to discuss going back to dry food and playing with his toys because a ball obsessed dachshund can only take so much. He's healing wonderfully from his surgery and he had all restrictions lifted. I'll still keep our extra "Sniff Walks" because it's good for both of us.

If you are a fan of Frank's and want to know exactly how his ear felt, get this plant. Appropriately named! I bought one back in '23, but needed a new one.

While I don't call my pets my "fur babies" I do see them as my responsibility and the privilege that it is to have them in my life in the past, present, and future. I chuckled at this.

I made it through the speech and as an added unexpected bonus, my husband decided that I should do a news station interview. 😬 I have yet to see that. Alister did okay representing Frankin Beans today. I did get a bit sad, but then seeing all of the weens was like sunshine upon my heart. We can't wait until next year's! It'll be the 25th!!!

Memories Monday with Frankie. He loved this time of year because there were more things to stop and sniff.

Again this year I, Frankin Beans' "Muh-ma," have the incredible honor of speaking at the annual Rochester Dachshund Parade about IVDD. These are pics from 2024. I will be advocating for the prevention of and the hope with this horrible disease that impacts more than dachshunds.

I need to apologize to all of Frank's followers, dachshund owners, and (if he was still here) Frankin. I should be using his memorial page in a way that helps those dealing with IVDD. I do not share enough about it. I won't go crazy with it, but it is very important to me and I believe that I have gone through what I did with my best friend so that I can help others.

Okay, my local people and dachshunds, come out May 9th to Washington Square Park in Rochester for our annual dachshund parade. I'll try to share an event link in the comments, but if I can't you can do a Facebook search for it and it should come up. Hole to see you there! No dachshund? No problem, we just ask that you not bring another breed of dog as some weens have issues with other breeds. We do welcome humans of all walks of life though! Alister's Adventure will be joining us again this year.

Frankie was, is, and will be forever my best friend. I knew I was ready to welcome perhaps another red smooth coat dachshund when I was no longer having the expectations that the next one would check all of the Frankie boxes. A secret I'll share that probably makes me out to be a super weirdo: I thought about actually cloning Beans. Yup. It was a silly notion because it isn't just genetics that make a dog or a person who they are. It's our experiences in life, the ups and downs that mold us as if we are clay. So I realized that it wouldn't work to "keep him in my life longer." It also wouldn't be the true Frank Beans. Plus if I had fifty grand to blow on a dog, I'd much rather do some big time good for so many other pets and even people. These last few months have helped me adjust to not having him there to hear about my day or my prayers. Alister's Adventure just falls asleep. 🙄😂 So while I do still hope that the future dog will have some Frankin traits, I am excited to see his or her own personality. I'm still waiting for the perfect dog at the perfect time. Anywho, leave a pic or a story about YOUR best friend in the comments. I love hearing from others about that love that is like no other. The love of a pet. 🥰

My first Valentine's Day without Beans isn't going to be so bad. Alister enjoys watching the sunset with me like Beans and Ryley did.
