It’s Frankie’s 8th birthday today!
Frankie’s doing brilliantly and still the lovable soul that he always has been. Since we’ve last updated his post (sorry for the delay) he’s certainly been up to a lot. We’ve moved from Worcester Park down to the South coast, just a stones through from the beach so Frankie gets to swim in the sea daily…well he’s not a fan of going too deep and likes to keep his feet firmly on the floor, but as soon as he sees the water he charges and dives right in. Frankie coped really well with the move too, although wasn’t too happy about his beds being packed away and conveniently choosing to sit on the exact one we wanted to move.
Frankie even bumped into Simon, one of his previous walkers from Guildford, on the beach and it was magical to see how fond they are of each other, Frankie recognising him straight away and remembering their treat tricks.
He’s working his charm on the locals too and it didn’t take him long to get treats from the other dog walkers and befriend some local dogs. He’s discovered a love of the hose pipe too and has a enjoys a one-sided water fight over the fence with our new neighbour….jumping with joy as he gets sprayed by the water.
He’s working on his confidence around people too and growing braver by the day. He’s still not increased his circle of ‘trusted human friends’ much, but we’re getting there and he’ll happily walk past strangers, stand in close proximity to them and as long as they don’t pay him any attention he’s more than happy.
He’s such a character! He loves a chat responding with his own strange noises to participate in the conversation and has taken to stealing the cardboard packages from the recycling bin and doing his own recycling shredding them in the garden! He’s still a little pickle at times, but he’s Frankie and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Happy 8th Birthday, Frankie!! Wonderful update and thank you, Kris, for the great photos of him. I like the one of him on his bed in the garden; it looks like he's just a tad irked that you've disturbed him
So pleased to hear that Frankie's happy and I bet he's enjoying having the sea so close to home. Have a great Summer
