Well I have been on the waiting list for the library for over a month so I decided to buy it today.  $14.99 at BJ's.  I wish I knew about Barnes and Noble earlier since I have a gift card from there, oh well.

Happy reading everyone!!

Instead of the Super Bowl, I spent the afternoon with Marley and he's everything Nodog said he was.  I laughed, giggled, snorted, and sobbed.  I HATE sobbing!  but it is everything that we love dogs for and more.  Thanks for the suggestion, Nodog!!!  It was a great one!!!

Loved the book!  I laughed.... I cried.... but mostly I felt warm & fuzzy inside while/after reading about that lovable Marley!

I am looking forward to March's book club selection - whatever it may be.

He must have read ahead of you and is trying to protect you from the crying at the end.   ;)

I just finished reading this book.  I loved it but I might have to debate the no drinks before reading the ending.  I didn't have any and I hate to cry.

I too read this book! and a great book it was. It serves to remind us so many things about dogs of course, and even ourselves. People in general need to pay more attention to the things they do in life, especially when it comes to breeding dogs, having children, anything that involves introducing life  into the world. The story makes me want to send this book to every backyard breeder in the world as a perfect illustration of how any bit of neglect in breeding will effect not only the dog and his life, but also the families, doctors, babysitters etc who open their hearts to care for them.

I just heard today on the radio that he just sold the rights for the book and a movie is in the works. Apparently this book has touched more than just dog owners. Now I definitely need to make time to read it.

I haven't quite finished the book yet, but I felt a lot of it was more about his personal life than about the dog. It is a good book though  :)

I finally went to barnes and noble to buy the book. It was on sale! It took me two days to read it. I couldn't wait to find out what Marley did next. It was a really good book!
