Merlin Returns!!!!

Sunday it rained. Monday Our Girl had to go see the people vet because she hurt her knee and now is walking around with sticks under her arms. I do not get to gnaw, run with or in any way play with these sticks!!!! So 2 days no park for Merlin. Then, last night

the whole family is going out and who do you think they took with them? Mimi! not Merlin or Jessie. Mimi! She met that really cool looking guy named Nookie. Did I get to meet him. No. Two days no walk and then I do not get to meet a cool dog like Nookie. He is the negative of Mimi! OK I bet they looked good together!

My person spent a lot of time yesterday brushing me. I think I have finally seen the benefit of this brushing thing so I did not squirm. So, today for Merlin's return to the park I was lookin' good. There at Chipmunk Ally I saw at least 6 chipmunks. I chased a couple but I just do not find the same enjoyment that Mimi does in this sport. Suddenly my 'ole pal 'Lil Scout was behind us . Now that I think about it.... Lil Scout is sort of a Merlin size chipmunk. That makes perfect sense. Well, I see the sport in chasing my little buddy. I chased her through the whole walk today! I think "Lil Scout is smarter than chipmunks because she does not have to run into tree trunks or scurry under a log to out run me. She can do that in a wide open field. Hey, I think I just insulted myself. well, who cares because I think I complimented Lil Scout and she is a good friend. When I was a puppy I would chase her all the time. Lately we have both been feeling a little less like running all that much but today was just like old times. Plus, I looked so good chasing her I wished I had a mirror to see myself in. I guess I will have to settle for the adoring looks of my peers and their peeps. It was a good day back and I must catch up on my beauty rest. A dog has to keep himself in good wagging condition!

Merlin the Gorgeous!
