It was love at first sight when our oldest daughter Maddie saw Frankie (who was known then as Apollo) while down at the Fall Festival in October. The minute she saw him at ITV’s adoption booth she knew he would be the perfect addition to our family. So after a lot of begging and pleading and promising to never fight with each other again, both Maddie and her little sister Bella, were leaving Franklin Street with huge smiles and our new little guy appropriately named “Frankie” !! (It was certainly better than leaving with more Fall Festival gold fish!!). Since that night we have never regretted that decision. Frankie has been the PERFECT addition to our family that also includes Frankie’s two beagle sisters Annie and Sophie. Frankie is adorable (he really knows how to use those eyes to get what he wants), happy, smart, playful, and VERY loving. We can’t imagine our lives without him. Thanks ITV for all you do and for helping to complete our family so perfectly with our little Frankie . And for the record, my husband is thankful he’s no longer the only male in the
house.
