From Frankie

The one that we all call Mom is a little tired. 

PLUS she got this new job, and I'm not really sure I like it. I don't think she will give accurate details so while she is doing dishes, or laundry, or scratching that big oaf of a brother's belly (they call him Kaden and think he is just "so cute!), I will write the truth.

This family is absolutely awesome! I am SO glad that the one they all call "Dad" decided to pick me from among my brothers and sisters. He is so kind, loving, and loves to snuggle with me! "Dad" even protects me from Kaden! I have 2 beds and one of them is inside of a cave that has windows. They call it a crate. I call it heaven! When I am in there, I take all the best toys and hide them under my blanket! Kaden gets so aggravated! My favorite thing? When Kaden sleeps, I like to go nip his ears, neck, lip, anything I can! He gets upset and tries to get me but I dart back and forth so fast he can't get me!

I'm like LIGHTNING!

Anyway, this week...."Mom" worked 3 days. The day they call Monday we all stayed home together and played. It was SO rainy outside Kaden & I had to stay inside. Which was fine with me! I don't like to get wet! "Mom"took this picture because, "It's just cute!" That seems to be her reasoning with a lot of things.

It rained so much that "Dad's" garden and the yard got all flooded!

We all stayed inside and they (the kids and "Mom") did something called homework and something called "crafts" and then danced in front of the TV. 

WEIRD!!!!!

Do you see me on the bottom right? They gave me this tiny bed and Kaden has the HUGE bed!

Kaden hogged the WHOLE window and saw the only 30 seconds of sunshine we had one day.

I felt bad for Kaden on Tuesday.

He got really dirty and ended up getting a bath.

Poor Kaden even laid down and wouldn't climb in.

"Mom" is MUCH stronger than she looks. 

She picked him up and put him in the tub.

I helped him get warm by laying next to him and telling him I loved him like a brother!

"Mom" went to work Wednesday through Friday. It is at something called a "flower shop."

She seems a lot happier, but we (Kaden & I) aren't too sure about this arrangement. I get shut in a room with my bed, food & water, and a couple of toys. Kaden roams the rest of the house and she is gone as long as Kyle and Abby are! BUT the good thing is she plays with us for about an hour once everyone gets settled in the afternoon. 

"Dad" came home on Thursday!

It must have been a love day, because he and "Mom" sure were sharing a lot of kisses and smiles!

They kiss really weird.

I mean, I kiss by  licking their faces.

They kisses by putting their lips together.

Isn't that weird?!

Today (Saturday) the kids and "Mom" shut us out of the study and worked on tying knots.

Man this family is just odd!!!!!

Kyle is cool.

He always tells me I am his good boy and gives me lots of hugs!

Abby talks a lot. Hugs a lot. Tries to pick me up a lot.

but best of all is....SHE RUNS!!!!

Everywhere!

We have SO much fun!

Kyle says that is a piece of his heart with a K in it.

Abby says that A heart is hers too.

By the way, "Dad" had a birthday!

That cake is made of ice cream!

It must be really good because...

"Daddy" had a HUGE piece!

"Dad" & Abby also worked in that thing called a garden a while back.

He is a hard working man.

Oh! This is "Dad" reading the Valentine's card from Abby!

It was all pink! He loved it and she was really happy!

Do you see that smile on her face?

Kyle gave him a card with a monkey on it.

They both thought it was pretty cool!

They pulled out the big knotted thing and "Dad's" smile got even bigger!

He says he is going to use it on the boat.

I think that is where he goes when he is gone for a few days.

I love it when he comes home!

They also gave him a mouse pad (what is that?!) and two coasters with a bulldog picture. I think they should take my picture and put it on there! 

 Most importantly, I have something awful to tell you.

One of my big dog teeth came in so fast that my baby tooth didn't fall out first. 

It was hurting so much that I haven't been eating a lot lately.

Momma found it yesterday and started to mess with it.

Daddy did too.

It hurted  A LOT!

When I finally cried about it, they stopped.

Today I heard them talking about...ora..ora...orajel?

They put some of it on my gum and then started messing with my tooth.

It hurt!

But it came out!

I am not at all happy with Mom!

It hurt!

Daddy likes that I am snuggling with him and not Mom.
He says I am his dog.

He doesn't realize I chose him....humans!

Anyways, I don't think I'll give Mom love and snuggles or anything.

All in all, I love it here!

They play a game called "Go Fish."

I'll see if Mom will put it up here one day.

They give lots of snuggles, good food, go for walks. and give treats!

My mouth does feel better now that that tooth is out....

I'll think about forgiving Mom.
