Unfortunately, Frankie had a stomach problem that prevented him from getting the nourishment he should

get from his food. This inhibited his growth severely. Consequently, we decided to exchange him for one of

his siblings. We made the switch on 11/6/2006. On that day, Frankie weighed 8 lbs while his sister (Cassie)

weighted 17 lbs. The difference was shocking, even though we knew she would be larger....

 

I'm very sorry to say that Frankie died soon after his return to Ontario. An autopsy showed that he had

a  hernia in his stomach lining that was causing his digestive problems. After 2 weeks on soft food he got 

into some regular hard food which lead to his death......   We're so sorry to see him go! If I had known what

was going to happen, Frankie, I would have kept you here. Please forgive me, wherever you are!
