Francey...I'm posting here out of frustration...your new blog segment on "Francesca ponders her beauty" will not allow my comment post to be featured...glitch?? none of my info like name email, website does not show up. so if you read this, can you let your mommy or Laura Plimpton and Eliad Laskin know that there is a glitch? this actually happens on several of your blogs....am I the only one?
Thanks mucho

Hi Frannie, You sure do look cute standing on your hind legs to see that chicken up on the shelf! I wish you would teach me how to stand like that. My mom puts things up high so I can't investigate them either. Whenever she can't find something, she always says "if it fell on the floor, then Dudley will find it and think it's his" and I do find it, but she always takes it away anyway. Love, Dudley Do Right

Hi Francesca,
You are so lucky you can see what's on that shelf. Today, I went totally blind ~ I've had glaucoma in one eye for about a year and my mom religiously gives me drops to relieve the pressure and keep me from pain. Over the last few days, my vision became really fuzzy and this morning I awoke and couldn't see.My mom took me to the vet and he confirmed I have glaucoma in my other eye and now I can't see at all. My mom is so sad, she cries ~ I lick her face and taste the salt of her tears. I know my meds are really expensive and she just lost her last PR consulting job ~ so it's not been a very good day. And I am miserable ~ she has to drag me to my food and water; I don't want to go outside because I have to go down two flights of stairs that I can no longer see.

You are so lucky to have Sharkey and that you can see. And,my mom has really enjoyed reading your blogs to us because, she, like Martha is a true animal lover and would adopt every animal in need if she could. All she can do right now is support the American Humane Society and Popcorn Park in NJ.

I'm hoping eventually, I will be able to follow my brother, Popper, who can be my seeing eye dog when I finally get used to living in a world of darkness ~ and never being able to see my beautiful,caring mommy again. I still love to give her kisses, tho'
Love and be well,
Daisy

The Thing on the Shelf

There are things you see while dancing,
Canty moves,like flipping and prancing.
Nosey Franny needs a closer look
Up there on the shelf,it's not a book.
It's a strange looking chicken OMG,
Martha loves them,isn't that odd?
Feathers used for fishing flies,
Humans catch them,to make pies.
They wont let me play with it,not today.
I wont tear it apart,not right away.
You might think that I'm foiled again,
But I'll find a way,before the rain.

keep smiling.

Now Francesca, you may look like an angel, but of course you would tear it up & have a blast while doing it! And, you'd probably invite Sharkey to help out. You have a very inquisitive nature. I don't think much gets by you.
I see in one of your pictures a blue ribbon, which bring to mind, I wish someone could design a "ribbon rack" where mine could be displayed nicely. There doesn't seem to be a neat way to hang them up without it looking so cluttered! Any ideas?
Meanwhile, best to keep 4 paws on the ground,

I can't believe it Francesca is the spitting image of my French Bulldog Seigfried (because he's a hero), born in August 2007. A wonderful breed.

Being a Yorkie-Poo being vertically challenged is frustrating! My mommy always puts things up high, and I can't reach them to sniff or taste them. She says they are dangerous for me...but they don't look dangerous, they look delicious!

Hello Francesca: My name is Gracyn and my mom and dad adopted me from the TriBeagle Rescue in Raleigh NC. I have a swell home and crate and they always take me to Pet Smart to buy my food and treats. I get to sleep on a king-size bed with them too. My mom won't allow me to investigate things in high places. She and dad watch over me like a hawk. Did I mention I also have a very large fenced-in yard? I graduated from obedience school too. Too bad we couldn't met some day and play in the yard.
