I admit – a lot of my pictures are of Merlin. But he is cute, willing and always available for photos.
Day 76 – Nose

Day 74 – Going to bed
Merlin firmly believes it is his responsibility to lead the way, whether it is in the walk thrugh the park, or – as in here – running from living room to bedroom in the evening. He typically moves too fast for a photo, so I asked him to wait a little to snap this one. Bed can wait for that one extra minute.
Day 65 – The reason for coming home
Travelling is fun, but then there is home.
Day 55 – Brunch with friends
With my mother half a world away, I spent my Mother’s Day brunch with friends. Me and Stuart had great time with Ally, Chris and their two pups. We were unable to get a table in any brunch restaurant in town (Mother’s Day problem…), so we ended up in their newly built house. And we ate way too much – as appropriate.
Day 50 – Paw of a sleepy pup
50 days down, 300+ to go.
When it’s cold, Merlin loves to snooze snuggled up in the blanket. Luckily he doesn’t mind sharing. The closer he can snooze to the humans, the better.
Day 42 – Rest
While I went shopping today (not something I was not very excited about), I dropped Merlin off for a ‘playdate’ at friend’s house (Remember Merlin’s best friend, Jozi from day 21?). The main benefit from taking Merlin there for a day is that he is exhausted afterwards and requires no attention, thus leaving me to read – or edit photos.
Day 36 – Anything left?
Merlin loves food. With passion. His favourite times of the day are the mealtimes and not a second is wasted in gulping down the food. He has also developed a very accurate internal clock for the mealtimes, and is diligent in ensuring we don’t miss the right moment – at least not by more than 10-15 seconds.
Day 25 – Early traveller
Breede river is far from Johannesburg. It is almost 1,500 km away – to be exact. And that is a long way to drive.
To get to Breede before dark, we started driving at midnight. At first light of the day, out little first class passenger (the only one in the car with his own bed available for the trip) was already well used to the rhythm of driving.
Day 23 – Puppies at play
Having two pups in the house is maybe 5 times more effort than having just one… However, it is fun to watch Merlin and Jozi play together. Merlin is quite an introverted and calm little dog – despite being just over a year old -, so seeing him play his heart out is good. And Jozi is a sweetheart.
Day 16 – More reflections
My failed attempts at boot-photography kept bugging me, so I decided to give it another go. I failed. Instead, Merlin became fascinated by the mirror – after a long hesitation on whether it was to be trusted. After all, you never know if you may just fall thru.
