Mad About Marley

Wow!  What a great movie!  I laughed, I cried….but it was not at all what I expected.  When you watch the commercials for “Marley and Me”, you get a sense that the movie will be a physical comedy about the antics of a misbehaving dog.  Although there is some of that, the movie is really about John Grogan’s life, with Marley providing comic relief.

Lots of Excitement over Marley and Me

   I guess I’m not the only one excited about the release of “Marley and Me”.  I plan on seeing in Tuesday night, so I’ll let you know on Wednesday what I thought.  (Although I’m not particularly fond of Owen Wilson, the male lead – hope that doesn’t ruin it for me.)

Anyways, here’s just a bit of the news I’ve seen recently about the movie.

Resolutions for your Dog

Have you given any thought to New Year’s resolutions yet?  I normally don’t make them, but this year I am really trying to get in shape, so I am going to make a resolution to walk my dogs at least 3 times a week. 

Many of you may be gasping, “You don’t walk them every day?????”  No, I’m a bad, bad mommy.  With four dogs and a huge backyard, they do get quite a bit of exercise, but I know that’s no excuse.  So, I’m committing to three nights a week.

How about you?  Any dog-related resolutions?  Let us know with your comments below.

BTW, when I searched our media site for “New Years Dog”, the above picture popped up, captioned “Happy New Year from Buster”.  Isn’t he cute!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
