He just had his shots and blood work done, so just waiting on all his results from his blood work to come in. He is not on any medication right now for his heart murmur, but at some point in his life, he will need medication for his heart. He does need to gain a pound or two, he's kinda thin, but we will get him to a healthy weight. Frankie is just the sweetest little guy and loves to cuddle and sleep on your lap. He loves everyone, dogs and he doesn't seem to mind cats too.
