Yeah! This arrived today and I was a bad girl... I kept trying to read it at stop lights. It (and I) made it home safely and I will read it tonight with my "badonkadonk" properly wedged in a chair while my husband watches the Astros game.
Thanks so much for this great ring.

Journal Entry 4 by wingMyssCynwing from San Antonio, Texas USA on Tuesday, April 3, 2007
DeeOhTea thank you so much for starting this ring! Marley & Me had to be the best book I've read in ages. It was hysterically funny then heart wrenching. I cried twice and the darn thing (along with my husbands snoring) kept me up until 2AM last night. I finished it today during the 2nd Astros game. (I hope we win this one!)
If you've ever owned a totally "whacked" dog you'll see you aren't the only person to lose your mind and keep a friendly monster in the house.
I plan to buy many copies of this book and give them for Christmas presents this year.

This arrived today- thanks so much! I will start this within the next couple of days, as soon as I finish Inkspell.

Journal Entry 6 by LadyKnightNiko from Liberty Township, Ohio USA on Monday, April 9, 2007
After some thought, I've decided to put finishing Inkspell on hold and starting this immediately, so I can get it mailed out when I get paid friday. =) I already have GrannyAnn's address, and all I need to do now is read it!

Journal Entry 7 by LadyKnightNiko from Liberty Township, Ohio USA on Tuesday, April 10, 2007
(my cockapoo- Sunny)

First of all, thanks so much DeeOhTea for sharing this wonderful book!

Like Cyn, I found it impossible to put this book down!

I laughed and cried as I shared the Grogan family's misfortunes with their hyperactive dog, and couldn't help but nod in agreement over some of the mishaps my own dog has shared with Marley. This book was wonderfully honest, and though I'm rather glad my Sunny is relatively calm compared to Marley, Marley sounds like he would have been a lot of fun to be around!

I'll be sending this on to GrannyAnn in the next few days.

Decided to take Sunny out for a joy ride to the post office. It was a lot of fun, but my brand new car is now covered in dog hair... looks like it'll need it's first cleaning tomorrow.

Journal Entry 9 by GrannyAnn from West Henrietta, New York USA on Thursday, April 19, 2007
This book was waiting for me when I got home from work today. I have one book almost finished and then I start this one. I can't wait!

Thanks for the note, LadyKnightNiko, I'll keep the tissues handy.

DeeOhTea, thanks for hosting this ring!

Journal Entry 10 by GrannyAnn from West Henrietta, New York USA on Sunday, May 6, 2007
I loved this book! There were so many things that Marley did that my wonderful Golden, Ginger, did too. She was one in a million, although, thankfully, not as crazy as Marley. Parts of the book had me laughing out loud. And also crying - yes, I needed the tissue box!

There is nothing as wonderful in this life as the unconditional love of a dog. I thank John Grogan for sharing his stories. Any one with a dog can relate to many of them.

I have the next BCer's address. I'll be getting it in the mail in the next few days.

Thanks again for sharing this book.

Received book today - can't wait to read! Thanks.

Journal Entry 13 by RCLoriH from Rapid City, South Dakota USA on Friday, June 1, 2007
I loved this book! It made me laugh and I had to work very hard to avoid bursting into tears in our office breakroom as I finished reading on my lunch break today! My Dad had a whacked out, obsessive compulsive Border Collie named Yoda and like the author of the book, no matter how weird she was, we still loved her!

This book should be required reading for everyone who is thinking about getting a puppy.

Thanks for sharing the book! I've got the address for the next person on the list and will be sending it along shortly.

Thanks for sharing!

Okay, first I must apologize for having it for so long. Did I really get this in June? Whew! My mom borrowed it while I was out of town and loved it, and I just finished it so now it''s ready to go. I pmed istopforbooks for her address when Marley arrived, but one of our pm''s must have gotten lost. I pmed her again tonight and hope to get this moving early next week.

I just love that the Grogans kept Marley and were able to love him just as he was. We had one like him and it''s so reassuring to know we aren''t the only crazy dog people out there. Beautifully written and a great tribute to a goofy dog. Thanks for sharing!

This just came in. I'm finishing one ring. have one waiting and then this one is next, but all should go quickly.

Journal Entry 18 by istop4books from Castle Rock, Colorado USA on Wednesday, September 12, 2007
I loved this book. Had I erased "Marley" and inserted "Pastrami" it could have been stories from our lives with our Black Lab, who was a huge part of our family for 14 years. I wound up with puffy eyes after reading the ending (even though I knew where it was going), and I just enjoyed the writing style, fun and light, but not trivial. He brought me into his home and into the daily life and tribulations of bringing up a dog. A great book!

Journal Entry 19 by jessabean from Alexandria, Virginia USA on Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Just got it in the mail today. Can't wait to get started!

Journal Entry 20 by jessabean from Alexandria, Virginia USA on Thursday, October 25, 2007
I really enjoyed this book. I'm a dog lover, and Grogan's imagery was so incredibly vivid, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of Marley's antics. It's a great story with a beautiful and touching ending that made me want to hug my own pet and keep him close.

I LOVE MARLEY!!!

Wow. This was such a great book! Growing up, I had a 'Saint' of a dog as well. But since I've married, we've had many dogs. I swear that the author must have rolled bits and pieces of each of them up into Marley. I wish I knew how to put a picture of my almost 11 year old black German Shepherd (whose ears never stood up), Kavik. He has already outlived each of his parents age, we lost them 2 years ago. His hips are failing and his muzzle is full of grey. We know we are running out of time with him - and we love him so much. Thanks to John Grogan for reminding me to enjoy every second we have left with our wonderful, always faithful, Kavik.

Cute book. This should be a manual for future pet owners to help them realize that having and properly caring for a pet is a big responsibility. Very funny dog.

Just got in the mail today...can't wait to read it!!!

Journal Entry 28 by lisabb2 from Grimes, Iowa USA on Sunday, January 6, 2008
I loved this book!!! It was funny and sad but a great story about how dogs can enrich your life. My dog, Missy, is nothing like Marley but is my best friend!!! I hope I have her many more years to come too!!!

This is on it's way to angela861.

Journal Entry 29 by angela861 from Chicago, Illinois USA on Tuesday, January 8, 2008
I received the book today! I will begin reading it as soon as I complete my current book. Thank you DeeOhTea for sharing!

Journal Entry 30 by angela861 from Chicago, Illinois USA on Saturday, January 12, 2008
Very cute, quick read. I have a little "monster" who tries to rule the world. She will never be in Marley's league but keeps me on my toes all the same. I enjoyed the way Grogan walked you through his family's life w/ Marley. His antics made me feel a little better about my Gracie's colorful personality!

I will send this back to DeeOhTea on Monday.
