Franklin Snow (our 'other' dog)

Our amazing poodle, Micah passed away earlier today.  His loss is heartbreaking; and yet we can't help but to recall all the fish, birds, hamsters, ferrets, rabbits, turtles, cats, and other dogs we have owned.  We had Micah for 10 years, the last year and a half with him we also had another dog.  My daughter's sister-in-law Michelle, found a little white Terrier-Chihuahua mixed bred.  He was called Frank, I called him "Franklin".

   Franklin is actually one of the first dogs we've ever owned that even played with his toys.  Micah loved the squeak toys, (we always had to buy a new one when we went out shopping - even though they'd tear them up in ten minuets).  But mainly due to Franklin's playfulness Micah stayed active..  We've had Franklin for the last year and a half now; he still has a tendency to chew on things but has gotten better.  Today we notice even he misses Micah's presence.  Hyper thing that he is, Franklin is a very loving dog.  At first anytime the front door was open he would run out; that too has changed and he's gotten better about staying inside the house.
