Francis Albert Friday!


No, this is NOT Frank and Audrey! I found this picture while thinking about today's story and looking for an appropriate picture to go with it. I couldn't resist since this looks so much like both of them!! Sadly, this would NEVER have happened! Today's story IS about a cat but it's not Audrey. As you know, Frank was always on the lookout for cats. I happened to miss this episode but Joe explained it so vividly and we still laugh about it today.

Joe was walking Frank one day when he suddenly darted after a cat he saw. They were walking alongside a house that had a big hedge all they way around it. The cat disappeared into the hedge. Frank shoved his whole body into the hedge. All you could see was his butt sticking out! Suddenly the cat fell out of the top of the hedge, landed on Frank's head and rolled down his back!! Every cell in Frank's body reacted! All the hairs on his neck and back stood to attention. He barked. He cried. He jerked himself around and before he knew it, the cat was off running again. SO CLOSE! And yet so far.........

He never forgot that he saw the cat in that hedge. Every time we walked him and would approach that house he would run ahead and sniff all around looking for the cat. We never saw it again.
