The Best Christmas Cookie Ever!!

What!??? Frank is a Christmas Cookie?

 

OH MY! As tasty as I bet this is, I think we can safely say that it is going to be saved through the Christmas season!

Thank you Daphne for the incredibly artistic and thoughtful holiday cheer!

Oh Frank! Delicious!

Frank and Bean are Moving!

Please excuse our absence! We have been so busy packing! We will be back soon from our new home!!!

We hope you aren't alarmed....

... by the changes to the template of the blog! We changed them accidentally earlier and now I have just had time to actually make some choices! No more changes for a bit - at least let's all hope. Whew what a year!

Hoarder

I fear that Frank, as he has reached middle age, has perhaps, as so many folks do, become a hoarder...

Of pigs, in particular!

He has been collecting these two and bringing them to his, well, Bean's actually, bed every night.
Frank, such a clever and quirky fellow.

Stay tuned for Frank's big move! It will be his first time since puppy hood going to a new house! Oh Frank (and Bean) such big times!

Happy Halloween!

Or a rather UNhappy Hallowbean as the case may be...

Poor little fella just couldn't seem to get in the moooooooooood!

Wow, please don't stop reading the blog based on the last 2 sentences.

Photographic Word of the Day: Proper!

Proper:

adj

Conforming to established standards of behavior or manners; correct or decorous.

 For example:

Frank was most proper while in the presence of his grandparents until the moment when he was presented with a steak bone and lost all sense of propriety while whirling in a ball of yapping exhilaration...

Photographic Word of the Day: Rutilant!

Rutilant:

adj.

 Glowing or glittering with ruddy or golden light.

Oh Bean! So fancy! I wonder if that is actually a light bulb going on over his brain as he figured out fetching?!

(sorry the post was so late!)

Photographic Word of the Day: Somnolent

 Somnolent: 

adj.

1) sleepy, drowsy

2) tending to cause sleep

Now, what you might want to know is that not only does this photo fit definition #1, but also #2, as when Frank looks like this and is also snuggled in, it causes ME to snuggle in and sleep!

A WEEK of Words of the Day: Perch!

This week, with the help of Frank and Bean, we will be defining one word a day! 

Today's word is PERCH.

Perch: a pole or rod, usually horizontal, serving as a roost for birds...

Well, Bean, close enough....

Morning Face

A while back there was a very popular website that encouraged ladies to take their photo first thing in the morning to revel their "true" beauty (a popular photo blogged by her then husband of Katy Perry was, I do believe, the start of this fad.) Frank finds this to be a rather dumb website, especially because he suspects that most of these ladies have in fact done quite a bit of primping pre-photo or else just woke up after a night at the club with their make-up still on... cast your own judgements here:

Morning Faces?

Never the less, Frank does like to keep up with the times, so...




 Oh Frank!

I sent this along to the website. It was rejected, which I understand; why would you want to make all of those ladies feel so badly by showing them someone who looks so very naturally handsome in the morning?
