The introduction of Frank

Posted By Hup | March 26, 2009

I left the office about 30 minutes early yesterday so that Stephanie and I could go visit the newest member of our family, Frank. As I made it home to our cottage and walked in the door, all of the lights were off and Stephanie was just sitting on the coach browsing Facebook. Unlike the giddy, over-the-top excited, “I’m about to go visit my baaaaby!!” Stephanie that I was expecting to greet me when I walked in, I was greeted by a very subtle “hey…” when I stepped foot into the dim-lit living room by a somewhat disappointed, “something isn’t right here” Stephanie.

“Gabe didn’t answer his phone and momma isn’t happy that she can’t go see her baby! (growl)”, is the first thing she said when I shut the door and asked her why we were all of a sudden saving electricity by not turning on the lights. Gabe is the owner of Frank’s momma, a Pug who had 6 beautiful puppies about 3 weeks ago, and he was supposed to let us stop by so that we could see what our baby was up to, but Stephanie couldn’t get a hold of him. I think that she literally left him like 6 or 7 voicemails in a matter of 15 minutes. Needless to say, momma definitely wasn’t happy.

But, Gabe did end up calling back and we took a family trip down to see Frank in San Jose around 9:30pm last night. It was the first time that I had seen Frank and Stephanie’s first time to really see him now that he’s up and moving around like a real dog. We hung out with Frank for an hour or so and got in some real solid bonding time. I took some video of the action, so feel free to see how Frank’s doing, too. I think at this stage it’s safe to say that Frank sounds like Gizmo the Gremlin, which I’m hoping he’ll eventually grow out of.

p.s. Frank’s the runt, but don’t hold that against him. It just makes us love him that much more. :)

      oh my gosh. This little guy is soo tiny! steph, we could have TOTALLY stashed him away in our dorm room, nobody would have known. Geez, we could have even kept him in a shoebox, hah.

      I love him, can’t wait to see more frank adventures. I assume there will be a new video series for frank adventures right?

      He’s small enough to fit in my purse. If he ever ends up missing…don’t look at me. :)

      Holly — there will DEFINITELY be some Frank video adventures. He might just become the most famous Pug, ever.

      Karen — Please don’t steal Frank, that would make Momma REAL mad.

      JD — People like me?

      [...] Ryan and I will not be welcoming our little Frank into our home as we had expected.  It’s really a strange situation on how it all came about, [...]

    What do you want to tell us, hmmm?
