Saint Francis RG

Today, marks a month of adopting our sweet little shit Frankie home. I mean that with all love in the world. It’s time to finally formally introduce him to the SUNNYINRENO blog universe! After all, I’m sure he’ll be on here quite a bit.  Believe it or not Frankie is thee first boy that we’ve ever brought home! Waymon’s plan to be the only man in the house has been tossed out the window because this little guy was too irresistible not to adopt. I told Waymon that since I was being ignored for the past 7 years of having all girls I would finally get to ignore him for another man ( only kidding, but seriously who cares about Waymon with Frankie around :) ).  We bought Rory from breeders and this time around we knew that we wanted to save a puppy. Haidyn and I walked through the halls of the Northern NV SPCA for just about a month enduring countless heartbreaks and let downs before finding our little prince charming.

Frankie is an Australian Shepheard originally from Elko,NV. The kindest lady at the SPCA introduced us to Frankie and his siblings, but I chose Frankie because he’s the only one that wasn’t eager to meet me or Haidyn. Apparently, I love guys who love playing hard to get. He shyly warmed up to the both of us and after that I knew that he would fit perfectly in our family. Oh and his killer blue eye ( oh yes you read that right) was a deal breaker for me.

Frankie’s name originates from our favorite TV show Dads. Most of you already knew what shows he’s named after, but for those of you that don’t know he is named after Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Frank (Francis) Gallagher from Shameless. Thankfully, he’s not a turd like either of those dads! Frankie is the most well behaved puppy you’ll ever meet . The only time he’s misbehaving is when him and Haidyn are rough housing or when he meets new people. Which of course, in time he will stop jumping on new comers. He’s smarter than any puppy we’ve ever brought home (sorry Rory). He’s low maintenance and loves to do his own thing. He’s the best cuddler you’ll find and absolutely loves being out at Hootsee and Papa’s house. He’s very protective of us and is always on high alert. I thought that pitbulls were protective and boy was I wrong. This guy is beyond protective at only 4 months !

With Frankie in our lives, we’ve found a new reason to smile and love again . Obviously, Sassafras loathes Frankie and all that he is, but that old hag sucks anyways so her opinion doesn’t count. Frankie finds a new way to pull on your heart strings every day. Poor guy has so many nicknames that he has to keep track of , but he gladly will answer to all of them. Just to name a few of his nicknames are ; Frank, Franklin, Frank and Beans, Frankenstein and my personal favorite Francois. Waymon has found his new side kick in protecting the house and fellow shithead.  Haidyn has been upgraded to “Ate Haidyn” (Ate in taglog is older sister) , a new best friend and someone to cause trouble with. And I’ve found my new running partner , fellow morning pal and the son I’ve always wanted. He came into our lives at the most perfect time and saved us.

Welcome to the family Francis Reynolds Gallagher Wells.
