Sunday afternoon at the park

It was such a nice day yesterday that we couldn't help but spend some time at the park!
When we've gone in the past Beans hasn't been much for chasing toys, but this time he was all over it!

We brought one of Frank's favorite squeaky toys and let Beans have at it. We threw it across the soccer field and called him to bring it back. It took a few tries but he got the hang of how to carry it back without dropping. He was having blast!

{he wore his Thunder Shirt because let's just say Beans has been pretty nervous lately when we go out.. he doesn't mind and seems a lot calmer in it when its on. We call it his "confidence shirt" ... }

Frank on the other hand is a seasoned PRO at playing fetch at the park.

... floppy ears!!

And then it was time to play fetch with both boys at the same time.
Ready... set..... GO!

We have more pictures (and videos!) of the boys that we'll get to on another day. For now - have a great Monday!

Countdown!

Jerome is here with a reminder for everyone... 

{poor guy is already looking rough...}

24 days until Opening Day!!

Frank & Beans are so excited for Opening Day - they're already wearing their Tigers shirts!!

They had so much fun visiting the team at Spring Training, that they might try to get tickets to the Tigers home opener (anyone happen to have any spares...??).

Until then, Frank & Beans (& Jerome) will continue to check how the spring training games are going and keep counting down until April 1.
24 Days!

{Also Frank wants to give a special shout-out Happy Birthday to a favorite fan whose birthday just happens to be on Saturday!}

Happy Friday! {and Happy Birthday!}

Rudy & Tony

Rudy is a little upset that he hasn't been featured much lately. Yeah, there was a small mention last week about the time when Frank & Beans got into his food, but Rudy says that wasn't enough...
Today he wants to share with you his pal ... Tony... {those of you from Toledo might get the connection ;-) }

Rudy has a small obsession with his mirror, and spends a lot of his time talking to it... not sure if he thinks he actually has a buddy on the other side, or if he realizes its him. Regardless it provides him hours of entertainment. {he'll actually pull it off the side of the cage and prop it up against the side-wall on the bottom of his cage.. clever little guy...}

Sometimes we take the mirror away from him for a little break.... then he gets a little feisty... like this.. ROAR!!!!

Happy Thursday! It's almost Friday - hang in there!!

Video time!

Ok.. it's a first for The Daily Frank & Beans.. a video of Frank! This is a test to see how things go.. and if they go well then we'll try to post more!

This is from over the summer when we took the boys to a park. One of Frank's favorite things to do at the park is chase after his blue squeaky toy. He loooove this toy. Check out the floppy ears as he runs!!! And look at that speed!!!

Not the most exciting video but if all goes well we'll try to get more posted soon!! Enjoy!

Frankly Speaking

This week I got a question from Sara by the Bay.  Sara writes "Frank, you have a lot of free time to ponder such important questions like who will be the next Pope or whether I will be affected by that sequester thing?  My question is - where should I put my $5 bet at the new Horseshoe Casino?  Momma needs a new pair of shoes!"







Dear Sara - First I must say that His Holiness probably doesn't suggest you do betting of any kind; I heard he has a low yield Vatican money market account you can put your 'faith' in.  Anyway, don't worry about the Sequester either, they can just print more money - no biggie.


I recommend you put your money on a hand of Poker.  Maybe a game of Texas Hold'em or 7 Card Stud.  Whichever you pick its absolutely critical that you have a good poker face!  Let show you some examples!  Here we go,..

Wrong Poker Face - Try Again.

Sometimes a distraction help draw the focus of your opponent!

Or just play dead until your everyone gets bored and gives up!

Hope you come visit the new Casino Sara and take me out to lunch at the Margaritaville Restaurant and we can nibble on some sponge cake!

We're watching you...

We recently painted the kitchen and added a chalkboard wall on one section. Since we've been trying to leave the boys in the kitchen during the day I thought it was important to let them know they need to be on their best behavior.

Obviously it hasn't worked out too well lately...
Happy Monday!

Bird Seed Sampling

So last summer, Frank & Beans decided they wanted to see what it was like to be a bird...

... and they ate Rudy's food...

They found the bucket of pellets on a low shelf and decided to help themselves.
Frank & Beans were so proud of their accomplishments at first.. and then it set in ....

Beans wasn't really phased by the whole experience ... but lets just say Frank was hurtin' later that day .... and the next...

Yes, he was actually laying in his cage like this afterwards...

Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
