Frankie and the babies

Frankie is our 1 and 1/2 year old puppy! when the babies started to wear cloths in the NICU, I often brought their laundry home for Frankie to smell it. When the first baby came home (Alea) he was very curious about her and everything that was going on. Every morning he had to go up to the nursery to check things out and to smell every thing! he would just look at her and wonder what was this new little thing that makes so much noise! then Armando came home and Frankie was even more confused! so now he had to check out the nursery more than once a day! 2 or 3 times! and boy when Arianna came home then he truly didn't know what to think. I think he wonder how many more noisy little things where going to show up the next day! now his play area was full of other things or toys that he wasn't allow to play with. Also he couldn't play with his toys because there was no room!! But now he knows that these babies are part of the family and he is very protective of them! He has stopped going to the nursery, I think he knows that there won't be more little ones coming home that we have the full gang here! he loves to lick their feet and the spit ups from the carpet (gross)! Frankie has have his jealousy moments and he has chew on his pillow! which we had to replace and the new one already has wholes:S Some how we will need to spend more time with Mr. Frankie.

The babies are also mesmerized at this creature! now that they can see so much more they like to look at this huge puppy. Here are some pictures that you will appreciate:)

Frankie and the babies hanging out and licking previous spit ups from the carpet. You probably wonder if Frankie is too big to be close to the babies, well yes he is, but we don't leave him alone with the babies and he spends most of his time outside.

This is Frankie protecting little brother and daddy from what ever come through the door as long as it isn't a scary calf (Frankie is scare of them sometimes).

Life can be crazy with a huge but sweet doberman and 3 little babies, but it's lots of fun!
