Marley & Me

[bob w]

To all you dog lovers on RRR, we went to the movies today and saw Marley & Me. It will make you laugh and maybe make you cry. Two paws up for this film.

I read the book a couple of years ago. Very good read. Being a dog lover I cried like a little baby at the end of the book. So I have mixed feelings about going to see the movie.

Had to click on this post to see what it was about; "Marley" means something else around here, something I haven't done in 20 years ! So, you can understand my curiousity when I saw "Marley and Me"....... excuse me, I have to go listen to "50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain" now .....

The dog is named after Bob Marley... Any connection there???

Still havn't seen it yet, I need to go check it out. I have read the story about it in one of Cesars books.

The wife and I watched it a few weeks ago. I didnt watch the last 15 minutes of the movie, had to leave the room. Wife stayed in here and finished it, while balling like a kid ...... the reason i left the room, didnt want to ball like a kid.

Sad movie for sure. To much of a dog lover to ever watch that movie again.

I did go see the movie. Too bad they coudn't have changed the ending. I've had to do that with my "dog kids" too many times. Never gets easier.

My regards to this are the same as when my grandmother bought me 'Ol Yeller' when I was younger... WHAT A HORRIBLE MOVIE TO WATCH! I know the ending of both and therefore refuse to watch either. I have such a soft spot for pets I don't think I could handle it. I plan on watching the movie and turning it off halfway and walking away with a smile, HA

We were given the book first by my best friend and his wife, then I bought the movie. The movie follows the book to a "T". Very sad. We have two Labs in our house, both brothers. One of them has the Labrador Retriever hereditary myopathy disease, which is a form of Muscular Dystrophy. It is sad, but he is such a mild mannered, loving dog and they are both 3 years old now. The other one is healthier than an ox. I thought of our sick Lab when I read the book and saw the movie...and bawled like a baby with both forms of media. We know we will have to put the sick one down eventually, but until then, we will love him as always.

When I saw this movie at the theatre, I had no idea how it would end up. It really hit me hard, because I had just lost my dog of 16 years. It was a tear-jerker...

I started this off-topic thread but I thought it was worthwhile because there's been other pet threads, so there must be a lot of pet lovers here.
When we left for the theater, I grabbed a handfull of Kleenex. My wife gave me a quizzical look and I responded, "You'll see". Part way through the movie, I felt her hand in my jacket pocket, getting a few tissues.

That's very true DMW! I've owned 7 dogs previously and three cats and everyone of them has had to be put down due to old age or serious illness. It never gets any easier to let them go but it's just a part of it.

You car guys/dog lovers have to read this one : The art of racing in the rain by Garth Stein. I'm a big reader and this is one of the best reads ever. Got it for 6 bucks at Sams club . Buy it , you wont be sorry .

Absolutely agree!!! What the hail were they thinking!! I was about 8 when I saw Ole Yeller in a theater with my Mom. That was a sick-perverted thing to show a kid. I was totally unprepared for the end and was a sobbing blubbering wreck stumbling out of the place--My Mom never looked at me the same-thought she'd bred a sissy..

I sure ain't gonna watch this one--I got a wife and kids and Grandkids that think I'm a hard-a$$--took years to cultivate, I'm not gonna blow it watchin a dog show..
