MARLEY AND ME

My very good friend Kelly lent me her copy of the book Marley and Me to read on the train. The train is my nemisis, I sit there on both journeys listening unwittingly to the lives and loves of my fellow passengers.....to my endless boredom. So I started to read and the journey flew by and I had a smile on my face. In fact I had to struggle not to laugh out loud. This book is easy to read and yet there underlying stress and strain of life. I would also warn you that you should not read the last chapters (you will know the ones) anywhere near a train full of people. I visioned in my mind all the characters. It is for that reason I do not suggest you watch the 'Hollywood' interpretation out now...it cannot ever match the sheer joy of reading the book. I love reading I have books all over my house, they give me the power to think.

I am a dog person, and state here that if it had not been for Merlot my staffy-whippet cross I would have been lonely. She gives us unconditional love if only people were as reliable.

What a lovely read 'Marley and me' is and I must admit I also found it hard not to laugh out loud on the train.
Lovely to see a picture of 'Sunny'what a lovely dog.
