MERLIN'S PAGE

Magic Merlin here ,I love all the fuss I get off everyone that walks by me -not as much as I used to when I was tiny - but I can still stop the traffic at 500 paces, then I stand & pose . I like the showing I suppose mom always tells me I'm the best but i dont like not being called up for a rosette they're so munchy delicious - not that I can get hold of them that often they're up on a pinboard. My birthday is 24th June and I was born in 1998 so i'm nearly a veteran altho I act like a baby. I like lots of belly rubs and cuddles ,socks ,underwear, bonio's, and chasing my dumbell, my frisbee or a sock ,I won't chase a ball though My litter sister Rosie came here with me and we loved to play fight then snuggle up warm together.Sadly Rosie was taken ill and went to Rainbow Bridge March 13 2003, I still miss her. See my pix of me standing and being cute told you I was lovely didn't I ?
