Hi all Merlin here! Mom and I just got a look at the photos mom started to cry said Smoke kid looks just like the Fire dog she told me about. It was her 4-h leaders daughters dog . Fire was a terrific obediance and show dog, she (mom) spend lots of time at the home of Fire, kinda felt like she was part of the family.Hopes the kid learns lots from school (what ever that is). So many things going on at our house Mom got a new job comes home smelling of burgers all the time . Leaves very early I don't like the clock saying 5:00 am to do my biz. But she gets home about 1 so I sleep most of the morning(gotta keep the covers warm for mom) My boy Ben has started there too he leaves after mom and home before her. Dad leaves when I go out for that first potty run , but he never comes home smelling of food ?hmmmmm I get the run of the house for a couple hours. I got to fiqure out how to keep the new cat in line young whipper snapper just doesn't get the rules. Winky the old guy just ignores me thats ok hes more like a dog (mom says) Hes 11 years old and teaches me lots. we I'd better go moms pulling out the photo box says shes going to try to find a photo to put up of smoky and Fire for ya all to see.
