Sally, this is all great information! Your rehab person was most helpful! The more we know the more we can offer support in any which way we can! I am sorry that you are in the predicament you are in. Know that you are all in my heart and thoughts!
Frankie darling, i fall in love with you again and again and again! Those eyes Frankie! You sure do know how to use them! It’s no wonder you get away with what you do... I’m not sure i could even ask you to sit if you gave me those eyes!!!
Love to you Sally and hugs to your beautiful kiddos!
Hey er'rebody ... it's been a super long time since I've logged in, it seems. Sorry I've been gone so long.
Do I understand that Frankie is turning his leg out? Izzy did that after her knee repair. I never broke her of the habit but we didn't do rehab and I was terribly soft on her. I love the shot of Frankie's stink eye. Izzy would most definitely approve!
Sally, and everyone, I just wanted to pop on and let you know that I still think of you! I just am not online a ton, not even Facebooger, really. And let's be honest, we 'll know I'm really only on there to "like" pics of naughty pups being adorable.
Please let me know if I can help! XOXO
Amy & that beautiful, silly bulldog in the sky, Izzy
Momma to the world's most beautiful American Bulldog, Izzy!! Lost her front leg to OSA 9/18/15. Diagnosed w MCT in June 2016. Celebrated her 1 year ampuversary with knee surgery on 9/18/16! MCT recurrence in Dec 2016. Happy & hungry til nearly 14, earning her wings on 7/31/17.
If anybody can pull this together, it is Frankie, hence the stink eye ...
He is saying "did you not see the video of me running on two legs"?
The sky is the limit for this hound, Sally 💪🏽
He is an example for all three leggers here 😉
Me and Angel Eurydice alongside all our family are cheering for your boy 🏆😃
Sending you an avalanche of kisses and a truckload of cuddles to Frankie and his best pal Myrtle 😘😘😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
I think Frankie needs "The Conversation". I have to give it to Eli every now and then as a reminder. "The Conversation" with Eli goes like this (you'll want to change the script for Frankie's situation):
1. Choose a quiet time when you are alone with Frankie. Sit at his level and make sure you have eye contact.
2. Initially I wrote out a script so I didn't forget anything, it goes something like this: "Eli, I love you very much and I know you like to show me how much you love me. You show that love by bringing me rats. Obviously, you are a great hunter and have many skills. I admire these skills. I like you show me your love. But you know what? You can show that love even more by leaving what you killed outside the door. That way I will see it, then praise you and dispose of it. Thanks for listening. Want a snack?"
3. He only gets a snack if he listened attentively and doesn't talk back.
For some reason he never talks back during this talk. It works for awhile but does need to be repeated.
Tell Frankie if a cat can get it so can he. Happy healing Frankie and Myrtle!

As always...thank you E V E R Y O N R!!! 🙂 🙂 TEAM FRANKIE...YOU ARE DA' BEST IF DA' BEST!
Frankie has been praying everyday to his goD for massages (aka Rehab visits!) to be reinstated.
Well don't tell Frankie yet, but he has more Rehab...er....massages...in his future!!! The suppoet of Frankie's Friends in sooooo many ways and in soooo many levels has been unbelievable!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I'll update once we have our first return visit. I am soooo anxious to jear her evaluation and to see if, HOPEFULLY, he's at least not digressed (which I think he has) and has maybe progressed (not holding my breath)! But no matter what....no matter what....he is DEFINITELY in a much better place than before any Rehab!! His is sooooo happy! He is soooo Frankie!! 🙂
With a grateful heart,
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
PS AMY...always in our heartx weet Amy, you and that BEAUTIFUL SILLY BULLDOG IN THE SKY
KAREN! I'll let you k ow when I get results with "the conversation".' So far I've had 23 and he's not listening, until I say "snack"!!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

We won’t tell Frankie anything Sally, that is your gift to him! When you see his face light up when he sees his rehab person walk through the door, that is his gift to you!
Love to you and Super Frankie and his very Merry Myrtle
Frankie your prayers were answered how cool is that!!
No more cheating Dr. Weedle will see to that;)
