Operation Smiley Frankie Complete to Louisville, KY:)
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Frankie on his way lovers…….
Well, the transport to Louisville went without a hitch! I tucked in our boy about 9:00 last night. He whimpered himself to sleep about 20 minutes later and slept through the night. Not a sound!
This morning at 5:15 he was up and Adam, ate a small bit of kibble, went potty, was loaded in the Basset Hauling Vehicle at approximately 5:27 when we pulled out of the drive way.
Despite the blinding, sideways rain with thunder and lighting we made it to our meeting spot right on time!
Frankie jumped out of the BHV, went potty…….
took a brisk 10 minute walk and then I hooked him up to the BHV……
And his ride drove up……
He even had a traveling companion named Sweetie. She was pulled from a KY pound deep in Western KY by Connie the driver. Frank’s kennel is right next to hers!
And off they went, within in minutes of pulling up….
Have a great life Frankie! Keep in touch Frankie. We love you Frankie!
Mission Smiley Frankie Accomplished!!!!
It takes a Town to help a homeless hound!
More Smiles all around later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

FABULOUS! What a happy, happy ending. How was he with getting in the other vehicle? Did he have a problem with leaving you? Poor thing. Makes you wonder what’s going through their minds with all the shuffling around.
Cindy – That is a perfect word, Shuffling! He went from the tree, to the pound, to the vet, to my house, and the list will go on. He seemed fine with it. Kind of excited for his new journey. He jumped right into the kennel. I probably missed him more than he missed me. Hehehehehehe
heck no..he’s thinking how don i reach them fritos…..
I think this is such a good sign of better things to come for “Our Frankie”.
Cathy, it takes a very very special person to be on the road at 5:30a.m. in bad weather to help a hound find a home.
Thanks again.
Bless you, Cat! Seems like Frankie is OK with storms, then?! Can’t wait to hear about the rest of his journey!

Cat….the last picture with Frankie in the van pulling out brought tears of joy to my eyes!!! You are fabulous…..!! Thanks again.
Cindy–I was thinking the same thing–wonder what he is is thinking about this whole situation. He is a brave little guy, seems to really roll with the punches. Cat, thank you for bring these wonderful hounds and the fairy tail endings to all of us in cyberspace. I feel like I know them personally, Frankie, Homer, Trooper, etc. I’m glad you both had a safe trip; couldn’t have been a very relaxing drive thru that weather.
I can’t wait for the next Frankie update. I wonder how long it will take him to get a Jersey Shore bark.
Cat, I am feeling so lonesome for Frankie. When he was by you it was like he was home. I hope we get updates from wherever he goes. Thankyou Cat for all you have done.
More teary Kip missing Smiley Frankie later
Kip–I agree about feeling like Frank was my dog. Cat, I would have been a bucket of tears watching that red van drive away. But, at least we all know he will be happy and loved.
THANK YOU, CAT!!!!!!!!!!
You are wonderful to have helped get this furboy saved.
God bless everyone who contributed, whether money or prayers – they made a huge difference!
Suzanne
Thankyou Suzanne for all you do.
Candy, I am glad I am not alone.
I would and am shed buckets of tears seeing Smiley leaving:) I hope and pray that beautiful hound gets the best of furever homes. Look forward to more Frankie stories.
God Bless you Cat, Grandma and all who helped this boy on his way to a better life:)
I’ll bet he smiles all the way there! I just love a happy ending (Beginning!) !!!!!
Perfect Debbie, Beginning!
Remember our dear friend Connor….if he hasn’t gotten his puppy yet…wouldn’t he and Frankie make a perfect match…just thinking!!!
Glad the little love gift arrived….Frankie in his short time with us in Bassethoundtown has
really touch so many of our hearts. In this hard cruel world, it is so rewarding to know that
there are so many wonderful people that truly do care about humans/furbabies and make
such a difference. Thank you Cat, for all you do!!! You are one special lady and I LOVE YOU!!!
I know our little Smilie Frankie will find that special forever home and will be have a great life and new beginnings.

I’m happy and sad at the same time. I hope he finds a great home soon. I wish I had been there to give him a hug bye. 🙁 I really do hope to hear more news about him. In just a few short days he really touched my heart. I loved the Frank news. It was awesome. Now I have an empty spot in my heart but I’m so happy to see he was excited about his trip.
BJ, I think that’s a great idea about Connor!
