Once upon a time there was a wizard named Merlin (just like my name) and he was a teacher, a magician, a friend to King Arthur and he could see into the future. He was more like a spirit than a real man but he was good and kind and tried to help whenever he could. And once upon a time I needed his help because a little magic sometimes sure doesn’t help. Well I couldn’t find Merlin, but AGA sure found me and the magic began! I grew up in a home where a lot of children lived who had different kinds of challenges. It was often noisy and confusing and after living there for 6 years something happened and I “lost it” and nipped one of them. I never did that before so I ended up in an animal shelter and then moved to a rescue in Florida and then on to another home with just one man -until his very old mother came to live with us. I don’t know what happened but one day I “nipped” at her too. Neither time did I really bite them but they said I had to go. In Florida if you are a dog that does that kind of thing then you are in real danger! Your side of the story just doesn’t matter. The first magic happened when AGA said I could come to Georgia and they would help me. The second magic is when they sent me to a training place to see if I needed their help. Then Merlin the Wizard got with AGA and the best magic happened! I got a great foster home and the rest was history. It just took me a little while to show everything what I knew all along! I am home and my foster mom makes sure everything is just the way it should be – quiet, slow and when I need it I can find my own space! Thanks AGA and thanks to you to Merlin! Love, Merlin!
