Merlin

My Welsh Corgi Cardigan, Merlin Shamis, was 17 years old when he went to be in heaven.

I am 66 years old, and Merlin has been with me 16 of his 17 years, my constant companion. He went to work each and every day. We lived in highrises, and he rode the elevator all by himself to go to the bathroom. He was the only dog in highrise history to have a board vote him to be able to hang out in the lobby of a 5 star highrise.

Merlin was featured in many television shows, newspaper articles, national and local shows.

He was the most perfect pet anyone could ever have. He brought warmth, joy, honesty, and unconditional love. He was calm, cool, a perfect partner. He gave happiness, discipline and a complete security for me. I felt that he was like my child.

He was loved by all who met him, young and old, and I will miss him with all my heart!

Merlin

I walked Merlin for 12 years, Merlin was a gentleman and a very smart little dog. He didn't bother anyone or any other dog or animal around. He received all the attention always. I will miss Merlin alot.

Merlin was 17 but I don't think it was time for him to go.The doctors that treated him for kidney stones and his problems with his hind legs getting weak did not find the problem with his pancreas.

Merlin's pancreas was found to be very swollen and I believe he was having trouble walking and for years because of that pain he must have had. Merlin's new doctor found that only with a sonogram, but it was to late to help Merlin.

I hope anybody reading this that has a dog with the same symptoms has their dog checked for this.

I hope I help save another dog.

He was ONE smart dog!

THANKS for all the love and attention!!

Merle was a pearl!
by: Lori Martin

Merlin was not really a dog; he was a person wearing a dog suit. Admittedly, he was a bit spoiled. Maybe the most spoiled and indulged creature to walk the earth, but his heart was made of gold. He was as naughty as he was nice; one night he was sitting quietly in the lobby, when a young lady sat down near him. He couldn't resist---and started licking her toes. She laughed and got up, and when another woman sat down, he started the same thing over again.

Because of his lifestyle, sometimes it was very difficult for him to relate to other dogs. He loved people, and loved to dazzle them with tricks.

Merle, we know that all good dogs go to heaven, and that you are there.

I never met Merlin, but enjoyed him in the "Best Friends" episode of Sheer Dallas. He seemed like a sweet dog. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.
The Perfect Gentleman

Merlin was quite the gentleman for sure. He was well behaved, well mannered, and got along with everyone at family events. I know that I will miss him.

He adored his Mommie and she will be making a big adjustment to get used to being without him. I'm so sorry, Carolyn.

I know how I felt when I lost our 14 year old doberman, Heidi Von Haufman, and our last doberman, Marley's Blue Haze too. I miss them both.

God Bless.
Merlin the Man

Merlin is very missed around the office. He used to come in everyday like our little mascot. He certainly was much more than a mascot, he was a handsome little man that loved everyone he met! You will be missed Mr. Merlin, but I feel your presence is still here taking care of us!
