“We have learned that you can never take even one day for granted,” wrote the Hughes on Facebook.”Even though Franklin is a seemingly healthy old man, we wanted to make sure he has every experience that loved dogs have throughout their life, so we made today Franklin's First February Christmas.”

Franklin's Christmas presents consisted of squeaky toys, treats, special food and even Pill Pockets. However, Franklin was most enthusiastic about his new tennis balls and a stuffed lamb toy named “Lamby,” which has since become his new best friend.
“He's obsessed with it!” Mariesa Hughes said.

Now, Franklin is experiencing all the care and comfort a senior dog should. His foster parents are clearly smitten with him.

Mariesa Hughes described Franklin as her “shadow” who likes to follow her everywhere she goes. When her senior shadow gets tired while she's doing chores, she puts him in a baby carrier so he can stay with her.
