Ringo & a funny

So many pictures, so little time! And definitely no time to blog....so here is a quick post to tide you over until I can post some of what has been keeping me so busy!

And for the funny shot of the day, we have Merlin and his amazing flip-top head. I think he should be the star of Cheez-It's next ad campaign!

And here's Ringo's reaction to Merlin's amazing catch... :-)

A Merlin kind of day...

Merlin does not like precipitation of any kind. You can bet that if it is a rainy, snowy or even foggy day that Merlin is going to speed outside, quickly do his business and then sail back to the house and curl up on his cushion. As you can imagine, this winter has not been the best for Mr. Merlin. It seems like we have had nothing but rain, snow and ice at least once a week all season. But, finally! A glimpse of Spring is here this week, with temps predicted in the 60s all week with three straight days of no rain! Merlin is jumping for joy, and again pursuing his one true passion- hunting sticks. Perhaps more appropriately I should say hoarding sticks. He finds a stick, chews on it forever, then rolls on it before whisking it away to his kennel to add to his massive collection.
