Merle



Merle
23/9/1998 to 12/5/2015
A pomeranian/koolie cross, she was one of a litter of about 12.

My beautiful blue-eyed girl. 
She was my velcro-dog, who wanted to be with me all the time. She even sat on my feet when I went to the loo.

She loved stuffed toys.
She also loved running on the beach, but I can't get to those photos at the moment. I'm limited to those I've already posted on this blog.

Here she is with Scruff, in my second-ever post, from Sept 2009.


Licking herself dry after a bath. She was a bit cat-like.

Wearing her coat when she was about 15 and starting to feel her age.

I thought she might enjoy having a puppy around more than she did. But eventually she allowed Jack to snuggle up.

Just a couple of weeks ago, when I made all the dogs some polar-fleece pyjamas.

Her kidneys failed, and late today she was buried at Lal Lal.

Glad she is close to you at Lal Lal. A special member of your family.

I shed a tear as I read this Vireya. I am so sorry for your loss. A dear little dog by the sound of it. Hugs.

So sorry to hear this, Vireya--she was such a sweet lovely thing with her blue eyes and mothering instinct.

I am so very sorry to hear about Merle's passing. What a beautiful girl she was. Glad to know she'll be at Lal Lal with you, Graeme and the rest of the crew.

Sorry to hear your sad news Vireya. We have had 2 pet chooks die in the last month, one of old age, and one of our " new" girls from an unknown cause. They were part of the family and I miss having a chat to them when I go out to the backyard.

Sad news indeed. It's difficult to miss such a devoted companion of so many years. You two must have gone through a lot together.
Remember the good times.

A beautiful reflection on a good friend. Lovely that she could be buried in a place you value so much.

Such a gap she must leave in your lives, Vireya...what a very special dog she was xx

So sad, even a long life for a dog doesn't seem long enough when they are gone
