Merlin (Alchazandis Vlestetil), our much loved Pyrenean Mountain Dog, suffered a debilitating stroke on the morning of 22nd May 2014 and was put to sleep by the vet who came out to Strathmashie to alleviate his suffering.
He was a magnificent Highland gentleman with impeccable manners, and a Crufts prize winner in his day.
We buried him in the grounds by the river. He was a great age, particularly for one of the giant breeds: 11½ years.
