I've been reading several memorials with tears in my eyes but the one of your Frankie touched me deeply. On 10 Nov 09 I lost my beloved Toy Fox Terrier Sassy who bas born June of 1966 same year as Frannkie, to that terrible Cushings Disease. To think they were born the same year both died at approximatdely 13 years of the same disease. I always wondered about talking to someone about Cushings as I have no idea how my beloved Sassy got it, yet she lived with it for 2 years. I never did put her on that special medecine that could have helpe as I truly beleived that these chemo pills would cause her early demise. Did Frankie take these meds. I'm still terribly heartbroken as I'm sure you are but sharing info on Cushings may help others deal with it better than I did.

Frankie's sweet soul and good nature made him a lovable little guy. I miss him. And as his favorite aunt (and namer), I would know. Say hi to Sophie for me.

I miss him, too. He was the only one of your dogs that actually seemed genuinely happy to see me! I'm sure he treated all of the people in your lives that way. I will refer to the famous quote by an author I can't remember - "If dogs don't go to heaven, I want to go where they go".

We too will miss the little man and his ways of always being at your feet in the kitchen hoping that while cutting meat or preparing food, that you wouldn't forget sharing a little with him. We hope the Lord has a kitchen worthy of sharing those special extra bites of food with him too.
