Oh Happy Day!

So today it looked like my person was not going to get me to the park. I would have been one un-

happy dog. She finally said the magic words "OK Merlin, lets go load up" That means that I should jump into the way back of the car. Last week I jumped to soon and banged my head because the hatch back was not all the way open yet. OUCH! I gotta watch out for that.

When we got to the park there were very few cars in the parking lot. This made me very sad. We started walking and before long I heard a "hello" from behind us. It was my buddy Daisy~ I was happy to see her. We all walked together and before long Daisy and I were running around having a wonderful time. I felt OK about Daisy's person and my person being on their own. Daisy's person is one of my person's original canine cronies.

We ran into Watson and Willie. The 4 of us chased... Well, I don't know what we chased. all I know is that Daisy took off running with Watson hot on her tail so Willie and I followed suit. Whatever it was we were chasing I can tell you no body caught.

Down at the river we saw Big Scout. He and I are also neighbors. You can see what a handsome guy he is in the picture. He is so mellow I sometimes try to make sure he is breathing. I took his ball from him and he did not care one little bit. I went and chased Daisy again just because I could. Clyde showed up as well as Bandit. It was a nice small pack of mild mannered doggies all sharing space. Fergus came by to say hello just as we were leaving. Daisy and I walked out together with Bandit close behind. The weather was not too hot and the river was so cool that the day was nothing short of perfect. My person is waving a brush around which can only mean one thing. I have to go and hide.

Merlin the invisible.
