Frankie Suave knows how to layer on the charm, but the head tilt as he’s waiting for the human to open the door is almost too much.

Frankie’s nickname, Mr. Suave, comes from his calm demeanor, his unflappable ways (well, except for thunder), and his incredible knack for finding ways to get the humans to do his bidding. Hu-Dad wasn’t quite moving fast enough to open the door and let Frankie escape back to his comfy, warm bed, so he threw in the head tilt for emphasis. Yes, it worked.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Sometimes it seems like we can’t respond to their desires quickly enough.
Brown eyes or blue, when they give “that look”, it’s so easy to give in!!
Debbie & Miss Ruby-I totally agree-the head tilt cannot be ignored. I give in all the time!
