I'm the proud grandma of Franny Fran! (I bought her the lovely coat she's modeling in the one picture, for Christmas. It's a grandma's job to spoil the granddog, right?) As much as I love Franny, I love even more how happy Laura is to finally have a dog. She's only wanted one since oh, I don't know, the day she was born?

I confess I'm not really a "dog person", but Franny is pretty loveable. When she comes to visit me though, my cats are terrified and either hide under a bed or on top of a high cabinet. I'm hoping one day they can all just get along, especially since Franny really only wants to play with them, not eat them.
