Today we said goodbye to our wee boy Merlin. For the last 12 years he has been my best friend in every way. He has given us love through loss and shared his love as our family grew.

When we went to pick which border terrier would become ours he gave us no choice. I sat down in the chaos of him and his brothers and sister. As they all ran about the room he simply came over, sat beside me and put his head on my leg. Right then he picked us. Not a day has passed without him claiming his place on my lap.

He has cared and loved us all, and not a day will go by when we won't miss him and think about him. Grief is just love continuing.

Thank you Mr Merlin for picking me and being the best dog we could ever ask for.
