Visit 1:
Today was my first time to see Frankie without the Professor there. He was sleeping when I first arrived at the nursery. After waking him he started to lick my hand, then he bit me. Luckily Carter brought a steak for me to give to Frankie (he's so thoughtful) which he totally loved.

I tried teaching him to sit, which he did for about 10 seconds. We will keep working on that.

Need to get a leash and a collar so Frankie can get out of cage and run around a little more. Duplicated ball Carter brought Kali so Frankie would have one to play with too. Need to get some toys for him.

Visit 2:
Today Frankie was running around his kemmel when I arrived. I put his new collar on him then took him out for a walk using the new leash I had brought too. He loved running around outside. We had fun wrestling and running around.
Once I got him back in his kennel I gave him some water anf the chew bone I brought for him. I also gave Kali some water.
I then wrote a note for Carter telling him I gave Kali a bone and that I left a collar and leash for her too. He was happily chewing on his bone when I left.
Frankie and Kali were both chewing on their bones when I left.

Visit 3:
Today I did not get to take Frankie outside to play since it started to rain shortly after I got to the nursery. Luckily I had brought him a new toy so we were still able to play. He seems to like playing tug of war with me.
I let Kali out to play too while we were waiting for Carter to show up. It was funny to watch both crups trying to get the rope from each other. I'm glad I got that toy for Frankie. Might have to get one for Kali now too.
When Carter showed up Frankie attacked him and started licking his face. At first I thought he was trying to bite Carter, but then I heard the laughter so I knew he was okay.
Carter brought a frisbee for us to throw for Frankie and Kali to catch. Frankie really had fun with it (I think Kali did too).
Frankie and Kali played and wrestled for a little bit. When they seemed to be getting tired I put Frankie back in his kennel and made sure his food and water bowls were filled before leaving.
This was a fun visit even though we had to stay inside.

Visit 4
I went to visit Frankie for a few minutes before going to classes. He was sleeping so I just watched him. Kali was chewing on her bone so I said hi to her. I didn't pet her though because I didn't want to get bitten in case she thought I was trying to take her bone.
I filled the water and food bowls of both crups before heading out to class.
Hopefully later Frankie will be awake when I visit.

Visit 5
Tonight Frankie was awake when I got here. The weather was nice so I was able to take him outside to play. Hearing Kali whimper as we were going out I decided to take her with us.
We played catch (well I threw, they caught), ran around (a lot), and played tug of war. I then let them run free while I wrote in my journal and wrote a note to Carter.
Once back inside I fed and watered them before leaving.
I think tomorrow I will give Frankie a bath.

Visit 6
Today is bath day. Time to find out if Frankie likes to get wet.
Once Carter arrived we took Frankie and Kali out for a bath. I used my wand and Aguamenti to get Frankie wet and to rinse him off. At first Frankie only wanted to drink the water, then he wanted to chase the water around. Once I started to lather him up with soap he seemed to like it. He likes to have his belly and behind his ears rubbed the most.
He decided to shake the water off himself and got me all wet. Carter thought this was funny so of course I had to spray him in the face and get him wet too. Today was a fun visit.

Visit 7
When I arrived I found a bag of treats and a note from Carter sitting in front of Frankie's cage. Kali was sleeping so I took Frankie outside by himself. We played with the ball for a while then I taught Frankie how to sit. The treats worked good for this task. We played for about an hour then I had to go. I want to bring Frankie's cruphouse with me next time so I need to get it painted. After putting Frankie back in his cage I filled his food and water bowl then wrote a note back to Carter.
Hopefully he will be here when I show Frankie his new house.

Visit 8
Today is the day I show Frankie his new house.
YAY, everyone seems to like the house. Frankie ran around it a couple times before going in, then Kali followed him. Carter said I did a good job on it. I offered to help him make a house for Kali if he wants.
I was really nervous at first about Carter caring for a crup but I knew after the first visit that he was a natural and I had nothing to worry about.
I am really sad that it is the end of term and I may not get to see Frankie or Kali anymore after today. I think I will have to keep coming down everyday until I get on the train to go back home.
I'm going to miss those little crups this summer.

"Maybe I didn't use enough treats, or maybe I used too many. Frankie kept jumping up trying to get the treat out of my hand." Maybe she shouldn't have shown him the treats until AFTER he sat for her. "You wanna help me teach him how to sit when they are done playing?" she asked.

And now that the crups were playing Marie decided to update her journal too. She couldn't believe that it was already the end of term and she may not see Frankie or Kali anymore until next term. That is if they were still here. The thought of them not being here made her feel sad all of a sudden. Knowing that Professor Mrs. Lawson was going to be leaving at the end of term too made her wonder what would happen to the animals.

She finished writing and put her journal back in her bag then called Frankie over to her. "Come her Frankie, come here boy," she called out. Frankie came running ahd hopped on her lap and started licking her hands. She picked him up and started hugging him... realizing then just how big he had gotten since the first time she seen him.

"Do you think Frankie and Kali will still be here next term?" she asked Carter. "I mean whose gonna take care of the animals when the Lawson's leave and we're not here?"
