The 3 H's

So, this morning something happened that has never happened in the history of Merlin. My person got up to get ready for the park and I went under the back porch to be in the dirt. It is hazy, hot and humid and I am humongous and hairy. 3 H's + 2 H's makes Merlin an unhappy
boy. It is true. I did not want to go to the park today. It is a monumental day.
More importantly, Mimi is so much better today! She is walking easier and handling going in and out without wincing.
I usually sleep downstairs alone. Last night Mimi and my walking person slept downstairs too. My person slept in the chair, on the floor and on the sofa. Mimi was sort of up and down all night. I don't mind them being down here but I am use to being alone and having my pick of the chair, floor and sofa to sleep on. I was not crazy about my person pulling the species rank on me. I know she kept getting up with Mimi but I think she should have waited to see where I wanted to go and than take the other options.
Anyway. I really want to walk in the morning. I hope i see Bosco, Biscuit, Jack or one of the others that I love to play with. Until then, I will keep an eye on Mimi and stay inside where it is cool or lay under the porch/deck.
Merlin the hot and panting.
