This year on "Doxiementary"...

Franny's adventures continue, taking place in a different part of the San Francisco Bay Area, and with a whole new cast of characters.

Franny

ME, the star of this blog, always and forever.

Margot

My doxie sister who is a recovering poo-eater and lawn-destroyer.

Pippin

My kitten brother who we adopted last year into our family. He had a myriad of health problems and we got him all better! He's a cat who actually likes me!

Eloise

Ellie is our newly adopted baby sister. She came to us needing some love and a new family. We just couldn't say "no".

UPDATES: Because it would take me 78 hours to type one post with my paws, Nina helps me with my blog. Our avid readers may have noticed that Nina has not been helping me, and this blog has not been getting updated. Hopefully we will update in a more timely manner. In the mean time, I wanted to share with everyone what has been going on!

First, we're MOVING! We live in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area but we are now moving to the Peninsula. How cool is that? Because our family has reached its maximum capacity, we're moving to a pet-friendlier place closer to Nina's work.

We've been extremely busy preparing for our move, but in the beginning of January, we visited Pony for the very last time at her Los Angeles home. She moved to Florida a few weeks ago so our trips to LA are no more. I hope one day I will be able to visit her in Florida and see my cousin Lucky again (and eat his poo).

Lastly, I want to thank all my friends who continue to leave comments on my blog! I'll find a way to thank you better.

Yours truly,
Franny

Lucky Love

Will Lucky the Cat ever love me?

I can only hope...

I try my best to be nice and friendly.

I love you, Lucky. I love your poo, too.

Forevermore,
Franny

Weekend in Los Angeles

We had to stop for gas on I-5.

This is Brody's first road trip. He looks tired...

I hate long car rides. They are so boring!

We are finally in LA and I'm exhausted.

I'm listening to the dogs barking outside.

Nina dressed Brody in Lucky's Batman costume. It's a little late for Halloween...

Brody, just sniffing around.

This smells nice.

Even though the rain kept us inside for most of the weekend, I still had fun. Lucky the Cat still hates me. I wonder if he'll ever love me as much as I love him.

Toodles,

Franny

Lucky Hates Me

Lucky is Pony and Keith's cat. He is accustomed to being the only "child" or animal in the house. He hates me! It really makes me sad. I try to play with him and get close to him but he growls, hisses, and swipes at me. I am definitely scared of him.

This is as close as I can get to him.

He prefers being alone.

Sigh,

Franny

Driving to Los Angeles

The drive down to Los Angeles from the SF Bay Area was B-O-R-I-N-G! I got to sleep on Nina's lap for half of the drive, but after a quick stop for gas and a potty break for me, I was banished to the backseat. I made many failed attempts to get to the front of the car. Nina kept pushing me back and telling me that it was too diffcult to drive with me in her lap. That didn't stop me from trying for the rest of the drive.

I was relieved and super excited when we finally got to Pony's house. Nina took me for a quick jog around the neighborhood so I could "do my business" before we went inside. I still peed on the carpet.


Our Room! It has a surfer/Hawaiian theme. There's even a surfboard pillow and a pineapple candle.


This is Lucky, the dog-intolerant Cat. He doesn't like me at all. Every time I get near him, he swipes at me with his claw-less paws. He's gotten a few good hits and I scream in fear. Is it because I dig through his litterbox?

Smell you later,
Franny

Holiday Road Trip

Road trip! We are going on a 6 hour drive to Los Angeles to visit Nani a.k.a. Pony (Nina's sister). It will be boring but at least we'll be in L.A. tomorrow. There is nothing to do in the car but sleep. I usually like to stick my head out the window but we will be going too fast. I'm so excited to go to L.A. because its nice and warm and I get to see Lucky the cat! He doesn't like me very much but I always try to be friendly. Last time he slapped my face and hissed at me... Maybe its because I ate his poo.

I have to finish packing!

Happy Holidays!
Franny

I have my own bag. I'm bringing my food, a sweater, and my bowl.
