meet frankie

frank is the newest member of our family. and we are in love with him.

zach came home on saturday afternoon with a puppy.

i freaked out.

zach had been planning and visiting this little guy for weeks. and i had literally NO IDEA.

zach usually isn't the best secret keeper, and i usually don't like surprises. i almost couldn't believe that it was happening. 

you can ask any member of my family, i have wanted a dog my entire life. badly. many birthdays/ christmases went by that all i asked for was a dog or a sister. what a brat, right? neither of those were going to happen. but i really and truly always wanted both...

and now i have both (sisinlaws count, right?).

he's a little english bulldog that won't be so little for long. z fell in love with an english bulldog on his mission and has wanted one ever since. and i was easily converted after seeing a couple bully puppies. they are our kind of dog. and we got a good little guy. zach said that he wasn't positive about him, but went out to see him and his parents one day and couldn't go with any other little guy.

i had no idea when zach brought him home how much i'd love him. i seriously get antsy at work to go home and see him and make sure he's ok. we just love this little guy.

luckily my brothers literally think Franco is their nephew. jer has been going to visit him, take him out and hang with him for awhile everyday. 

frank's a lucky little guy. he has a lot of love.

(even when he is not potty trained and likes to wake up every hour at night;) ... good thing he's doing A LOT better these past couple days. we are training him like crazy. and he has done so good).
