This is Merlin, a great helper around the house. He not only helps with puzzles — including knocking pieces off the table, but he seems to always want to read the Addy Indy when I do and sits right in the middle of the pages. He is an excellent mouser and chipmunker but luckily stays away from birds. He celebrates his 14th birthday on March 17th — or at least that is the day we assign as his birthday since in seems he was born in the spring.
