Time to spill the beans (officially)!

[Merlincorgi]

For those who haven't already guessed through puppy photos on facebook.... I will be rejoining the world of corgi owners soon!! Actually I guess I have already technically speaking but I have to wait a few weeks yet to pick him up. So, who is the mystery pup? Meet Fromax Merlin!

Yes, after years of drooling long-distance over Petra and Susan's Fromax puppies I will actually be getting one of my own. Who'd have thunk it?! I'll be heading to Sweden in the next few weeks to pick him up and bring him home. So excited! To see a bunch more pictures, all the way back to the day he was born and to see his parents and siblings you can check out their blog (http://fromax.bloggplatsen.se/). Promise I will keep the puppy pictures coming when I pick him up! A couple more pictures from Petra and Susan (with permission).

The earliest days... Momma Tina checking on him.

He's gorgeous, and a wonderful name, btw! Congratulations!

[Merlincorgi]

I was thinking of you and your guy with the name. We will be keeping his name just as it is, both because I like it and in honor of your Merlin.

[Bobbie]

Someday I will have a Cardigan. And Merlin is honored, even if he does have a tail!

[Westwood]

Squeeee!!! Another Cardigan! I love the little white spot on his ear!

[Jespah]

Man those beans didn't last long!! :LAUGH: Longer than I could have kept them though!

Congratulations, I am so very excited for you and the menfolk - especially you! :WINK:

Glad to have you "officially' back to Corgi world. :BIGGRIN"

Oh Cheryl, puppy love, for sure! What a cutie, and love the name (good for Bobbie, too). Hope he and Pepper become fast friends early on.

Thanks for letting us know you'll be sharing lots of photos.

Can't wait for more. Congratulations you and to ALL of your boyz!

Best wishes.

[Jaxerspal]

Oh he's a cutie. I'll be so watching his progress! I'll bet her's are very good quality dogs from what I've seen of her website. Hey, maybe even pick one up for me! lol

[Jespah]

Petra shares tons of videos and photos of all of her dogs on Facebook and they always look like they are having a great time. All the pups are even raised with a cat - so they are Prissy-proofed first. I would take a Fromax pup in a heartbeat!

[peep_erz]

Congrats! He is a cutie. :)

[mtoy]

That is the coolest news!!!! Lucky you!!!

[dcole]

Congratulations, Cheryl! Little Merlin is soooo cute! :CUTE:

Looking forward to seeing more pics in the near future!

[jeepgal]

Congrats Cheryl! I kept seeing Petra tag you in photos on FB and wondered. :WINK: So happy for you to get a corgi again! Hope him and Pepper do great together.

[Kelownacorgis]

glad to see someone else will be busy with a puppy - bet u cant wait and we will wait for lots of cute pics

[thebeach.corgi]

Congratulations Cheryl! Cool news. A Fromax pup to boot. He sure is a heart stealer. A magical Merlin, even better. He now has lots of virtual Moms via C2BC! Many photos, a must.

[ZdogZ]

I had a feeling you were going to get one. I kept seeing you linked to all of those pictures. He is adorable! Congrats!

[corgiland]

Congratulations, Cheryl!

He is adorable!

[love2corgis]

Congratulations Cheryl- I had guessed when you said you would be off to Sweden soon and when Petra was tagging you in the photos.

He is so precious.

Thought you would like to read about this tale

and one with photos to show the boys

[Merlincorgi]

Oh interesting about the name and the old oak tree. Thank you for the link Laura!

[funnyfarm]

Love the new avatar! Too cute...congratulations and let the fun begin!:BIGGRIN"

[Anniesmom]

I kept wondering while seeing Petra tag you in photos on FB...I am sooo happy for you and the rest of the fam.

I have enjoyed watching those Fromax babes grow up (each and every litter) and drool over them too. I hope that you will keep indulging us with videos now and again of your very own Fromax babe!!

Congratulations!!

[MVons]

How exciting! Such a cutie, beautiful coat. A trip to Sweden is sure wonderful too. Can you allow any time to site see before picking up the bundle of joy? I know you won't be able to wait to have Merlin give you a lick.

[Merlincorgi]

Unfortunately I won't be there long enough to do much sight-seeing, at least not this time. Maybe someday we can go back for a longer visit.

[CorgiMum]

Oh my! He is beautiful!!!+WUBCLUB+

Congratulations Cheryl & family. How exciting!!!:BIGGRIN"

[Kassie]

I'm so excited that it's official! I had guessed it too from the tagging!:SMILE: I am a big Merlin fan, so I love the name!+WIZ+

[mtoy]

Wow, Sweden and a new corgi puppy. You're KILLING me!!!!!

[LuvMy2Corgis]

Congrats Cheryl!!! He sure is a cutie. +WUBCLUB+ You are so lucky to be able to get a Fromax puppy. When do you bring him home?
Can't wait to see more pictures as he grows and to see him with Pepper playing.
Pepper is going to be one tired pup when Merlin gets home!

[Merlincorgi]

He will be just a tad over 9 weeks old when I pick him up..... sometime before the end of the month. Won't give specifics over the interenet for security reasons....maybe been married to the military for too long, but still a good idea. I promise you guys will be the first to know (well, after Petra and Susan) when he has made it home safely. +WUBCLUB+

+WIZ+ <--Loving that Merlin has his own smilie!

[Penutsma]

***sigh***

Have to wait until November to meet my new grandpup.

[sutulu]

A Cardi huh????

Welcome to the dark side!!!!! Merlin is very handsome.

Susan
