Merlin 1995-2010 Passed Away Christmas Day

Uploaded: December 25, 2010

Description

Our wonderful friend of 15 years died this morning after a long fight with his illness. Everyone has a dog that was special. Merlin was our best friend, protector, he was the most gentle soul we have ever known. Our hearts are broken and my faith is beyond repair.
We love you Merlin and you will always be in our hearts! XOXO

Oh, Charles, I'm so sorry. What a rotten time for it to happen, too. I'm still missing my cat Boo every day and he's been gone a year and a half already. My thoughts will be with you today. #1338451

Charles, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss this morning. They are members of our family and will be missed as much as a member would be. My prayers are with you

Sorry to have to bring you back here,(after reading your caption) but maybe it is worth another look at your friend after I leave my words....
Your Merlin has the most beautiful coat I've ever seen- the colour and the way the sunlight hits his coat is spectacular Charles! A gorgeous portrait if you ask me!
God Bless him and of-course you and yours!!

Just read about Merlin. I know I have emailed you in the past and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I feel your pain. All of us who have had special dogs know what it is like to lose them. Your new puppy is just beautiful and I am glad you got another dog. It will help to heal the sorrow you feel. Take care and God Bless You.
