Now you’ve got Hup, Steph and Frank (the Pug)

Posted By Hup | June 19, 2009

I have no idea why it’s taken us so long to post about the greatest thing to happen to our relationship since Trader Joes Hummus, but I guess that we’ve been so busy lately that we just haven’t been able to give Frank, our new Pug, the proper introduction that he so much deserves.

If you’ve been following our blog for a while you’ve probably read something about Frank the Pug and how he’s been something that Stephanie has wanted ever since she saw the original Frank the Pug in the Men In Black movies (which was like 7 years ago). We’ve also posted about her Frank infatuation a few times and we even came close to buying Frank from a shady Pug breeder that Stephanie found on Craigslist while I was in Austin, TX. We’re SO  happy that we didn’t do that.

Anyways, I’m not 100% sure how Stephanie found the woman that we bought Frank (who was previously named Ricardo) from , but she ended up being one of the nicest and most genuine people that we’ve ever met and she loved Frank so much that she broke down crying when she eventually sold him to us. That day was about 2 weeks ago and it’s been pretty amazing to see how quick Frank has become part of our family. At 6 months old, he’s still just a puppy, but before leaving for this vacation he was already getting really close to being potty-trained (he’s definitely had his fair share of accidents) and crate-trained (I slept with one of my arms in his crate one night with him so he would stay in there). He’s tested our patience a little bit, but overall he has been such an amazing addition to our lives.

We’ll be updating more on Frank here soon (like the fact that he actually walks to work with me every day), so be sure to keep on checking back with us. But, before I go I wanted to leave you all Frank fun, so enjoy.


This is how Frank was sleeping under my desk today at work — how funny!

      [...] To celebrate the fact that I’m finally healing up and that I can start playing seriously on the interwebs again, I thought that it was only necessary to put together a video of my fun surgery experience that Stephanie snagged some clips of before and after I went under the knife.  Check out the video of my surgery fun below or over here on YouTube and be expecting more and more videos from us again now that my shoulder is officially on the mend (and now that we have Frank!).

    What do you want to tell us, hmmm?
