oh Victoria, I KNOW! haha.. Love Merry to pieces. She and Velvet are my 2 faves of your girls that I’ve been following. I always thought Annie was just gorgeous too.

Thank you. I love each for dif reasons. Annie is quite regal in looks and behaviour. Her grandaughter, Vevlet got the same from her. Merry is very much like her mother, my little Spirit, only bigger – yes, bigger…They both are like my little shadows around here. Velvet is quite calm in the house but a wild woman outside with other dogs – she cannot play with her children while in show coat!!!

hmm sounds like Comet, the canine bowling ball who treats the other dogs like bowling pins outside.
