| Franklin and Dolly loved looking out the back of the pickup truck window |
We thought we'd share some of our favorite photos of our Dachshund Franklin, who passed last week. Franklin was 16 and lived a full life. He loved chasing squirrels, birds and bunnies in the backyard. He didn't mind when I dressed him up for Halloween. and he loved walks and rides. He enjoyed doing everything with our Weimaraner, Dolly (who is now 15 1/2 and misses him terribly).

He Loved all food and treats and never turned anything down to eat! But hated getting his teeth brushed. Like most Dachshunds, he liked to eat things outside that he shouldn't, so that meant more teeth brushing and sometimes he'd snarl when I came near him with a toothbrush!
Franklin also LOVED sitting outside in the sunshine. I didn't matter how cold or how hot it was outside. As long as he was outside and it was sunny, he'd sit on the grass. In the last couple of months of his life, he had no tolerance for sitting outside.

He was independent, and loving.
He was bonded with Tom and always looked for Tom wherever he went. As he aged, he liked sitting on the big bed with Tom when I was upstairs blogging or writing at night and our other 3 dogs would stay with me.

He made quite the impression on so many and he's still very, very much around. Enjoy these pictures!
