Introduction

Hello, my name is Merlyn.  Thanks for visiting my new blog.  I'll start by telling you a little about myself.

As you can see, I am a Cairn Terrier, a breed originating in Scotland and bred to extract small, furry things from underground for our masters.  You may recognize one of my ancestors, Terry, who played the role of Toto in The Wizard of Oz.  I've been told we Cairns have winning smiles, do you agree?

My family saved me from a home with a mean ole crotchety teacup poodle whose master was convinced would meet her end through my youthful exuberance.  So now my home is with The Nice Man, The Nice Lady, and The Nice Boy, Sam.  When I first came home with them they introduced me to a small furry thing I had never encountered before:  a CAT!  Her name is Morrigan, and she seems to be happiest when left completely alone.  Over time we came to an understanding of coexistence, but every once in a while (like every chance I get) I cheat and eat the food out of her bowl.  What?  I'm a dog, not an idiot!

Over time we have had others join our little family, but I will save their introductions for next time.  In the meantime, may you have more belly rubs than itchy scratches and may your treat jar be overflowing with yummy goodies.


Love,
Merlyn
