A very happy birthday to Jan Bell’s (Cachalot Beagles) boys Cachalot Magician (Merlin) & Cachalot Batchelor Boy (Butch)! They’re a very spritely 17 years old today.

Beanie hasn’t been lucky enough to meet Merlin & Butch yet, but she’s good pals with their little sister Abbey who goes to the Beagle racing.
