Marley and Me

"A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his."

We only had a dog once. Our old neighbor left the dog and moved out. We were practically forced to take care of her. She was a good dog and her main goal is to protect us. Though I barely took care of her, her memory remained in me. What I will never forget about this dog is when she gave birth to her puppies. You can see the pain and excitement in her eyes while those tiny little pups are coming out of her. It was nice but really creepy to watch a dog give birth. :) 

The movie Marley & Me made me cry. Though I am not a pet lover and was given only a gold fish and a tortoise back then, I really felt Marley's love for his masters. He was a very stubborn dog and totally different from the others. He would bite the couch and drink the water in the toilet bowl. But there is one thing Marley's afraid of-----thunders. 

The Grogan's took care of Marley for 13 years. Marley was like their first baby. Many things happened to the Grogan's but they remained intact because they love each other no matter what. Marley was very much loved by John and Jenny and their children. Until he got sick and died. The family paid their last respects to their beloved dog as they bury him beneath a tree in their yard.

Jenny fell in love with Marley at first sight.
