For Throwback Thursday, I want to share a post which was the turning point of Chris and Frankie’s relationship. It was August, 2014, six months after we adopted Frankie and the first time the two boys were able to lie together without fighting.

We really like that they ended up friends. We have a bit of burnt bridges to repair here at the moment
Uh oh! I guess you should get to work right away.
Sounds like Chris’s persistence paid off.
Yes, they still have small skirmishes but get along pretty well now.
