Merlin

garden 035

Sad news.  Merlin, our flat-coated retriever passed away this morning.  He was very poorly so we took him to the vets and he was put to sleep.  We have had a fantastic 10 years with him!  He has bought us so much joy!  We will miss him terribly – it already seems really strange without him.

Rest In Peace Merlin, we love you.

Awww, Linda, hugs to you. So sad when one of our pets passes on. It looks like he was well cared for, well loved and enjoyed his last romp on the beach.

So sorry for your loss. Merlin was a very handsome boy. Your photos are such a tribute. Our fur children give us so much love and ask for so little in return and our lives are so enriched with their gift of being.

I'm so sorry! It took us months to get accustomed to not having our dogs with us after they died. Merlin was a gorgeous dog!
