I'm glad I didn't miss this! Those two beautiful happy pups are such a joy to look upon . They look VERY eager to get treats from Mom .

I feel so horrible though because I missed the news about Merlin. I just saw in this thread mentioning your loss of him and hurriedly went to memorial and found the thread. I am so very sorry for your loss, and for missing the thread in memorial. It seems it happened at a time that I was away a lot. I hope you are healing from the heartache little by little. I know it just takes a very long time for the pain to subside.
