I'm sorry gang.. I thought I had posted his video that I created to celebrate the years we had together under my other post. But I posted the video of Franklin outside and Maggie.. lol And that is awesome.. cause you got to see him in action. I have so many other videos that I should post.. it just brings big smiles to my face now to watch them now, and yes.. a few tears still roll down my cheeks.. .. I did post the video in his blog, but the blog is more for my own personal growth and sentimental reasons.
Elizabeth..!!! you would have been proud of me... I did the pictures and a caption!! whoo hooo!!! but I could not get a song to attach to it . I was so annoyed and frustrated... I had chosen a song called Gift of a Friend by Demi Lovato. I was going to use the song You're Missing by Bruce Springstein.... that was the song I linked to the day I lost Franklin... it's a tear jerker.. but sums up how I felt. But.. I didn't want this memory clip to be sad... cause Franklin never, ever looked sad.. he was the happiest dog on this planet!!!! It was certainly hard not to end up with a 10 minute video!! There are so many pictures that I wanted to include... Is there a way to go back and attach music?
So.. I will try to link it here and see if it works.. or maybe just post the link to youtube.. whichever one works.. lol
Christine... with Franklin in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
CHRISTINE!!!!! That was the best four minites and twenty-one seconds ever!!
You did a STELLAR job of capturimg tje essence of Franklin.....and The relationship between Maggie ad Franklin!!
Frankie would be so proud of you for makimg this such a joyous and loving tribute! Yeah, a few moments of tears welling up, but always wiped away with the next picture.
Yo did an excellent job of letting each picture tell his story.....his relatio ship with kitty......guarding the fishing hole......the excitement of ridingin the back ofthe truck.....the joys of sleeping and napping, especially in bed withnhis humans and his Maggie.....the happiness of stuffies and pig ears......lovimg the spirit of Christmas......showing a little disdain for being dressed up........loving his mom, his dad and his moon boy......laying with Maggie..........and his happy smiles......the action shot of his ears flapping ad bouncing as he's running with his famos smile on his face.........BRAVO CHRISTINE!!! BRAVO!!!
This is a perfect family album! The love for him, and his love for his humans and his Maggie, is felt in every photo.

Oh that was so great Christine! I loved loved loved every single minute of it!!! He was such a happy go lucky dog and so loved.
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013. "Like" Jill's facebook page: https://www.fac.....tty?ref=hl Proud member of the WINTER WARRIORS!!!! Her blog can be read at http://jillsjou.....ipawds.com. xoxo
That was perfect! Such a treasure that we have videos....they capture the essence that a still photo cannot!
Oh Christine this is such a treat, you did GREAT! I love the photos.
OK, no tears, just dancing for joy in celebration of Franklin's life, just as he would want it. Instead of crying we laugh and romp and play and sing a happy song in our hearts for all that he gave to this world. That happy boy wants it that way.
As for adding music, you can do it from your YouTube dashboard. They will let you add certain songs but probably not the ones you're thinking of because of copyrights and all that. But YT does have a good selection. If you open your dashboard and click on that movie there will be options for enhancing it with music. I hope that helps.
Thank you for including us in this celebration of one very special pup.

OH its beautiful!!!!! I agree with Amy, those are the most adorable ears! What a life Franklin had, he looks so happy! I love seeing the wonderful life our pups have led. It makes my heart happy 
I just know Franklin is the life of the party at the bridge!
I'd love to help with the music. I'll PM you so I don't tie up this thread with trouble shooting :). I'll throw that out there to everyone, if anyone needs help creating a video just shoot me a message.

Oh my gosh, Christine! That video just melts my heart. Franklin is just so stinkin' CUTE I want to reach through the screen, scoop him into my arms and love him up. He looks like he was soooo happy! His personality shines through, his eyes are sooo expressive. What a love. I'm not sure I can pick my favorite pictures, but I'm gonna try. Lol. I love the ones of him curled up on his bed with a paw over his eyes. Oh my! I love the pictures of him with the toy 'frankfurter' and sausages in his mouth. I LOVE the kiss between Franklin and your hubby (I assume - lol). Just priceless. I love to see his fur blowing in the wind during a drive. I love his winter outfits! And there's nothing in the world better, in my opinion, that those tripawd pictures of him running, big happy smile with ears flopping about. You know the ones in the Tripawds banner in his honor. They are my all time favorites!! You 'done good' my friend. Hahaha. Thank you so much for sharing your fur love's life with us, I feel honored to have gotten to know him.
