Hey there Frankie boy…. it’s hard to believe it has been almost 4 months… 4 MONTHS since you ran for the bridge… I know you are having a good time.. but don’t forget to drop a line ocassionally eh? Let us know you are ok.. I am sure you have seen many arrivals while you have been hanging out at the Bridge.. I hope you have been the gentleman that you are and helped showed them around… if you could be a helpful hand up there.. I can do my part and be a helpful hand down here too… it’s nice to be working as a team again.. even if it is in two different places!!
We are fine.. you know we love you to bits and have sooooo many pictures that we can cherish, laugh at, shake our heads at and wipe our eyes at.. We have been keeping busy. I know you see that I sometimes have some moments.. but that is ok. I can close my eyes, open my heart and I can feel you there. That’s pretty cool dude… I miss you big guy.
Speaking of big guys… tell Diesel I love him and I miss him…. I can’t believe it has been 1 year since he left us on September 8th… Is he still like the Godfather at the bridge? I bet he is… he just suits that role.. Check out the picture I found of you two.. you guys were and still are the best of buds… I’m glad you have each other now..
Maggie is ok.. she has lost some weight.. but her hips get sore sometimes.. after all.. she is 11 1/2 years old now!! She’s got a few more grey hairs.. but then again, who wouldn’t with that young pup around!! She has got to be the most patient, tolerant, understanding dog around. She’s been teaching Wilson a few things… like staring at the door when he wants back inside.. you know.. that “open sesame” stare she would do at the sliding glass door.. willing it to slide open.. waiting.. willing.. waiting… funny part is that she is no longer sitting at the door.. she sits in the background and lets him do all the work.. lol She misses you… sometimes when we are walking she keeps looking behind us ocassionally.. just to see if you are there I am sure.. visit her sometime will ya? I know you will see her one day again… but I know she would love to see you in her dreams as well… I mean.. after all.. look what she puts up with??
Speaking of the young pup.. what the heck have you been teaching Mr. Wilson? ok.. stop laughing!! First we noticed that he takes his squeaky toys and head butts Maggie and does that roawwr roawwwr sound… like you used to!!! Are you telling him that is the way to do it? And speaking of roawwr roawwr sounds… he now does that too when he wants to get your attention… check this out.. it’s a little fuzzy in the beginning…

I will try to get him filmed for you to see without the fuzziness and chaos in the beginning one day… but then again, I am sure you see it all the time and you sit back and chuckle! Oh yea.. and you would be proud to know that… he farted! Ya… I knew you would be proud of that one.. geesh!
Well buddy.. I am going to get back to work… I just wanted to say hello and tell you I am thinking of you. and when I think of you.. I can’t help but think of those sausages that you loved sooooo much…. remember those? lol… we used to have them in the backyard.. in the house.. we would find them frozen in the snow.. I should get some for Mr. Wilson… I am sure he would like them too… after all.. they are sealed with the stamp of the FDA!!! (Franklin Dawg Approved!!)
bark atcha later big guy….
love mom
