Frank lives! Crafty Pets lesley Taylor May 13 2015 I’m pleased to announce that Frank is alive. I have no idea who he is but he’s not as dead as first feared, merely hibernating, something he does apparently for 9 months of the year. I have no idea what hibernation is either, time for some quick research and a skype to cousin Fluffy who lives in America. It would appear that hibernation is being asleep, that sounds good provided it is somewhere warm and comfortable. Frank is a yellow chested marmot, some sort of furry thing that lives in a burrow on Fluffys ranch follow the link for further pictures. I am now wondering if he is like a rabbit –tasty, a squirrel-impossible to catch or merely inedible. Mum did a pattern for a rabbit glove pattern, I wonder if she can adapt it to knit a frank puppet? Would anyone want one? mmmm
