Life on the Leash

In early ‘07, I introduced the world to the glory of the Frankenpuppies … an accidental mating of my sister-in-law’s English Springer Spaniel Benson and her English bulldog Tootsie (spay or neuter your dogs, folks) produced a litter of nine amazing looking little pups. They were the stars of my first blog … you can read the whole saga about how I desperately wanted to bring one home and see tons of pics and video of the most sickening adorableness ever here, and here and here and here … spoiler alert: neither Baxter or Bess made it home with me.

I worried that I’d never be able to see what they’d look as adults, but to my delight, one of my former clients adopted the very last Frankenpuppy of the litter, and christened her “Frankie.” This is Frankie as a wee bebe, when she was still with her sibs:

Sick, right?

This is Frankie on the day I dropped her off with her new Mom:

I fell out of contact with Frankie’s person, so I was thrilled to received a surprise e-mail from her a few weeks ago … with pictures! Check out how that little freckle-nose cupcake turned into a cool looking adult dog:

Frankie’s person said that she’s regularly stopped and asked what kind of designer dog Frankie is. She certainly doesn’t look like either of her parents … what do you think? What type of breed mix does Frankie look like to you?
