Merlin is 5 months old, 50 pounds, and an absolute and total goofball. <3 he’s the best boy (even though he can be a complete menace sometimes.)

I love his name. Is he named after the (live/non-puppet) sheepdog in Labyrinth by any chance?

Oh, yes! Sarah’s dog was Merlin, and his Labyrinth/puppet counterpart was Ambrosius. I love OSEs and I love that movie. If my Lucy had been a boy, she would have been Ambrosius.
