Another Day...Many, Many Dollars...

Dearest Frankie Dog Fans -

I regret to inform you that Frankie will be away from his computer for a few days. In the meantime, he has granted me, his "human", to give occassional updates on his current condition.

Alas, last night I came home to a Frankie that was not quite so springy from his latest bit of mischief...to which I am still not privy to the details. Anyways, he insisted on an early morning visit to the vet...as he loves to be the first dog there just as they are cleaning the floors so that he will be the VERY first scent in the waiting room for all the other dogs who have to pay homage throughout the day.

After being treated quite tenderly and being diagnosed as having not so good response to some tests, Frankie added a specialist to his list of health care professionals. Yes, that is right, Frankie now has his very own neurologist.

The brave bit of dog bit the bullet and went under the knife to have surgery to correct his herniated disc (for those of you out there who understand, it was between the 12th and 13th disc)...he should be home on Friday and will be a little bare on his backside for awhile but is expected to make a complete recovery.

Sincerely Yours,

Frankie's Human.
