ask Frankie

Carroll asks:

Frankie, you say you're one hot porker. At our house we have a hot dog named Max who, like you, is in deep doo doo at the moment with me, his "owner" (but really, who owns who in such circumstances?) Last night when my attention was elsewhere, Max ripped apart a garbage bag and made off with about 5000 calories of discarded food (including wrapping materials which are nowhere to be found) So my question is this...should I feed him less for a few days to make up for it? I'm thinking his tummy should ache a little today, or that there would have been a bit of, uhm, regurgitation during the night, but so far he's not even showing remorse, let alone gastric distress. Also, what punishment, if any, would you suggest. My thought is that he was just busy being a dog, but I really do want to know if you think I should cut back on his rations for a few days.

Carroll, the best punishment you can give Max right now is to feed him TRIPLE rations for at least ten days. Definitely. Plus and extra dog bone in the afternoon. With maybe a little gravy and some peanut butter. with pickles. and olives. And a pepperoni pizza as a snack before bedtime. and perhaps some yummy christmas cookies. with syrup. and cheese, give him lots of cheese.




Men say man's best friend is the dog.

Dog's best friend is FRANKIE!

keep those cards and letters coming!!

Frankie, I just read your answer to Max. His eyes got very wide, he started to wiggle, and he just now ran to get his leash. Either he has to go out (again!) to eliminate some of last night's excess, or he intends to drag me to the grocery store for that pepperoni pizza. I'll let you know what happens. Your suggestion is sure to make him think twice about getting into the garbage!

Thanks, Frankie :-)
