I took this photo about an hour ago and thought it would be just nice to post a photo of Morgan being herself.
I took this photo a while ago and really liked but couldn't decide on the processing to use. In the end monochrome is what I liked the best.
In memory of all our brave servicemen, servicewomen and serviceanimals who lost their lives during time of war, armed conflict and peace keeping. We will remember them.
Now that Merlin has successfully averted any Halloween mischief happening to his Flickr friends he has decided to change costumes into something a little more pleasant.
Happy Birthday to our sweet and gentle boy, a very sensitive soul with a touch of cheekiness who has enriched our lives and brought us endless joy.
Miss Morgan the white witch of Oz, she is known to beguile you with her charms and cast a spell over your heart.
Merlin is just sharing his Halloween feast with his friends, tongues and eyeballs a tasty meal fit for a witch.
Merlin asks for those who can don't forget to give your Mum a big warm hug and for those whose Mother's are no longer here take a moment to remember them and send them loving thoughts.
May you always walk in sunshine,
May you never want for more,
May Irish Angels rest their wings
right beside your door.
(Irish Blessing)
We are hoping Santa Paws brings you some nice treats and maybe a toy, squeaky toys are the best or maybe he will just bring you human stuff, lol. Thankyou for all the support throughout the year, we hope that we have brought you some joy and we wish you all a very happy 2023.
When Morgan asked how long was a Platinum Jubilee and I told her 70 years, she replied that is a very long time, nearly 350 dog years or 25 dog generations, lol.
Mr Merlin is ready to welcome the new King. Collies have a royal connection, in the 1860s Queen Victoria discovered these Scottish herding dogs during a trip to Balmoral and very soon she added a Collie Court section to the Royal Kennels.
On this day 6 years ago I rang Merlin's breeder and he being only a few hours old was reserved to be our dog. We had said goodbye to our 13 year old boy Basil 8 days prior so Merlin had given us something positive to look forward to, being from another state we never set eyes on him until he was flown over on the 10th October. I will remember the first time we set eyes on him in his little travel crate for the rest of my life, what a truly special boy he is
Miss Morgan who we affectionally call Ganny May, is very loud, full of energy, will push in past Merlin if she thinks she is missing out on attention but is also so sweet and cheeky. Her registered name is Butterfly Kisses which suits her so well, her kisses are the rarest of things but when she does it so gentle and fleeting, it truly does feel like the wings of a butterfly touching your skin.
Mr Merlin watched one of his favourite toys Lady BugBug going into the doggy treat cupboard, but when she didn't return he grew concerned for her. Merlin decided to open the treat cupboard but he still couldn't find Lady BugBug, he called for her and she didn't answer.
He climbed into the treat cupboard and went searching for his dear friend, she wasn't behind the smackos, she wasn't in the scooby snack box and he almost became sidetracked by the yummy carob covered peanut clusters but finding his friend was so much more important than filling his stomach. At he back of the cupboard he found a curtain with a strange green light illuminating behind it, "that's very strange" he thought. To his surprise, when he pulled the curtain back he found an enchanted land.
He walked through this beautiful land until he saw a splash of red among some blue flowers, "Lady BugBug what are you doing here" he cried in happiness.
Lady BugBug said " I'm here because purple unicorn has had a baby and I wanted to bring her a present and I thought that because blue is her favourite colour these flowers would be perfect. But they are stuck fast and I am not strong enough to pull them out"
Merlin exclaimed "I am big, I can do it and I would love to see a baby unicorn." So Merlin pulled the blue flowers up but he didn't see all the pretty blue butterflies sitting on them, without their flowers they decided that they would fly around and sit on Merlin's head.
Merlin and Lady BugBug eventually found Mrs Unicorn and her new baby, she was very shy but also delighted by their thoughtful Mother's Day gift.
Once a year on All Hallows Eve Merlin turns into the evil faerie Merlficent. But don't be fooled dear Flickr friends it is but a ruse to infiltrate the world of ghosts, witches, monsters and ghouls. Despite his fearsome appearance he is still our sweet and kind Merlin, he is acting as a double agent to divert all of the monsters away from his Flickr friends homes and to keep everyone safe.
Captain Merlin and his crew of Pirates wish all the Dad's a very Happy Father's Day, may your day be one to treasure.
