Marley & Me by John Grogan

This is a definite MUST READ!! It tells about the bond between Marley and John.

Here’s a paragraph from the book that I truly love and can relate to…

“Part of me ached with sadness, I was not a quitter; I did not believe that Jenny was a quitter, either. We were not the kind of people who pawned off our problems in the classifieds. Marley was undeniably a handful. He was nothing like the stately dogs both of us had grown up with. He had a host of bad habits and behaviors. Guilty as charged. He also had come a great distance from the spastic puppy we had brought home two years earlier. In his own flawed way, he was trying. Part of our journey as his owners was to mold him to our needs, but part also was to accept him for what he was. Not just to accept him, but to celebrate him and his indomitable canine spirit. We had brought into our home a living, breathing being, not a fashion accessory to prop in the corner. For better or worse, he was our dog. He was a part of our family, and, for all his flaws, he had returned our affection one hundredfold. Devotion such as his could not be bought for any price.”

I like to thank my guy for buying me this book. I truly enjoyed every single page and I hope you will too!

And for those of you who are thinking of getting a pet soon, it would be good to read this book first. Though every animal will have their own set of habits and personality.
