I saw the movie Marley & Me with my family on Christmas day. As is the case with most books turned into movies... the book was way better. The movie had its funny moments. And we all know the dog dies in the end so no shock there. It was emotionally draining to watch the dog get old, sick, and be put to sleep. I think the whole theater was crying. (Do not go to this movie if you have never owned a dog - You won't understand). It brought back too many memories of my childhood dog *Jake.* Oh he was a good boy. I wish I had a picture of him on the internet to post. He was a dalmation and had the most beautiful markings.
Another heart-wrenching dog movie is My Dog Skip. It's the same kind of story as Marley only this dog is a Jack Russell (same as Darrell). I made the mistake of watching this movie while I was snuggled up on the couch with Mike and Darrell. Lets just say 'hysterically bawling' is an understatement. Most of you know how much I love my dog... and watching this movie was just too real.
What a Debbie Downer post huh?

Total downer but I have missed you posting!! I can't go to movies in the theater that I know will make me cry. The older I get the harder it is for me to stifle the sobs.
Some days are 'downer' days! just happy to have you post! I love to read them!
So the dog dies huh? I was going to read the book but now that I know the ending I won't go get it. I'm kidding! I can't stand Jennifer Aniston so I won't go see the movie. I'll wait til it is on DVD. Almost got to see Twilight but the hubby didn't really like the idea of taking care of the kids all by himself that night. Oh well! Glad to see you are blogging again.
