FRANKIE SAUSAGE
Promoted to Big Sister
Frankie is our beloved mascot and chief mischief maker. She can hear a crisp packet open half a mile away, loves to sunbathe and is always ready to meet new people. You’ll usually find her peering out the office door ready to make your acquaintance!
Although she has a bark that often makes us jump, it’s louder than you’d think, Frankie is a little softy who is always looking for fuss, and a snack if you have one!
Frankie has recently been promoted to big sister and is very much enjoying her extra sibling duties!
