More: Merle is our newest addition, little brother to 13 yr old Willie (Aussie mix) and 6 yr old Mollie (Beagle/Yorkie). Merle’s momma was a stray who wandered up and was taken in by neighbors before giving birth to 7 healthy babies—of whom Merle is the only boy. It was love at first sight when we met him at 5 weeks old. He’s the best little pupper brother! And luckily 5 of his sisters were adopted by friends so we can keep play dates!
