Mum, Bonesey (Sam) & I walked Frank today with Chleo. I went in to get him, said hello to him through the kennel bars ... a little interest. Went into his kennel ... a little more interest. Got down and sat on the floor with him and gave him a big hello ... got a lot of interest! We had our usual cuddle and kiss session. Both of us were pleased to see each other. If I had a tail I would have wagged it too!
When I came out of the kennel block my mum did a double take and said "that's not Frank is it"?! Have to say she was right - it's been a little while since we have both seen him and his skin has had a flare up in between. But am delighted to say that today he was looking so much better. His coat has really improved and we were both very thrilled to see that. He doesn't have the pink patches that he had before either and there is new longer healthier fur on his back. Unfortunately my camera died today after taking shots of Chleo - I was gutted - so there is no photographic evidence this time.
I can't tell you how much character this boy has written all over his face. Someone is going to smile every day just looking him when they come forward to offer him his forever home. I just hope that happens soon as he needs someone to give him a forever home chance. A special boy.

Frank is a one off - he has a sort of uniqueness, he was so happy to be walked and when he realised Sharon was going to give him a cuddle he was so excited and covered her in kisses.
I wouldn't have know he'd had skin problems, hardly any pinkness left and he certainly wasn't itchy or scratchy.
He has so much character and it would be lovely to see him settled in a permanent home. |

Frank is on the road to recovery..his skin no longer has 'that smell' Many thanks to Alyson and her team; also thanks goes to Nikki from Epsom Canine Rescue for recommending and supplying his herbal treatment.
Now anyone who has walked Frank knows how difficult it is to get a frontal photoshot as he is far ahead on the walk and at the most will sit with his back to you. His fur has thickened again on his back..it was thinning out again 3 weeks ago.
Well we had a few cuddle sessions and he was beginning to come back for another cuddle..and had hesitation getting on with the walk..bless. Here he is being called in for a cuddle!

Saw Frank briefly while I passed through and he is such a busy boy in his kennel, bumbling around, but he came over for a back scratch. What a boy - if only his popularity with everyone who meets him would mount up to a new home  _________________ www.furryfriendsrescue.co.uk |

Ok, Ok, Ok lets change the note here ... lets not harp on about Frank's skin. Frank used to have a Chronic Skin problem. Frank is now a dog post skin problem! His problem now is he doesn't have a home!
Frank is mellow; he is pulls you into cuddles rather than attaches himself to you...and he has a wealth of little noises that surface in midst cuddles just to let you know I am rather enjoying this!
Frank has a clean smell coming to him; his past odour is fading.
So by all means exam his fur and see how it is coming through in abundance ...
The only way to get a head shot of Frank who is very "camera shy" is to hold the camera out in front of him and hope for the best..
Got this one as he noticed horses coming and stopped still ..
He waited as they passed by but then wanted to walk right behind them but I held him back then he was in pursuit!
So Frank's owner are you ready...Frank is!

Can't believe how fantastic he looks now! Just sincerely hope that someone spots him. He has such a fantastic fan club which I am sure he would gladly trade in an instant for a forever home and who would blame him
If you are out there, you won't understand just how special this boy is until he is in your arms!
