merlin my black lab dog was brought home in 2005 when he was 6 weeks old, i can remember he kept me & my family up all night the first couple of weeks he was home he will be 5 on feb the 14th yes that's valentines day he loves going for walks and he loves me to play with him, he hates having a bath but he'll happily jump into the sea or a river, i know how weird eh? he's quite a tall dog espetially for his breed but we do keep him healthy and feed him good food. he loves to get lots of attention, but i suppose all dogs do don't they? i love merlin to bits he's the best dog in the world. all i'd like to say merlin is, happy 5th birthday for the 14th and i love you loads xxxxxxxxxx
