this boy has a story, and not a good one. but he’s making the best of things for now …

merrick loves balls, and balls is what he loves.  it’s probably the only thing he loves right now. these shots were possible only because of a ball … a chewed up, discarded, crushed old tennis ball.

    Hi Ilona,
    I have followed your wonderful photographs of your beautiful dogs for
    about three years or so when my son showed me how to work a computer.
    I absolutely adore Morley, he’s just the kind of dog I’d love. I hope you
    don’t mind me commenting on here, (I haven’t got a clue how to get on
    Flicker!) I just had to say that I know Merrick has found in you a
    perfect owner, and it’s great he’s company for the mighty Morley.
    I love seeing your pics all the way here in England,they really cheer
    me up too, if I’m feeling a bit down. Your dogs are so lucky to have an
    owner like you. Take care, and give Morley a big hug frome me.!

    Hey your new boy is going to have a great life. He deserves to have someone like you in his life. These photos are awesome as usual. The diptych is great and the one with the flag makes him look so proud. I know he’ll be that proud soon under your tutelage ;-)
    BTW you need a new flag.
