Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
3 journalers for this copy...
Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.
Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled.
But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.
Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.
Cute story!

Thanks so much for the package! Much appreciated; I can't wait to read this book :)
Thank you so much for sending these books to me. I love the movie, Marley and Me, and I look forward to this book. Also, many thanks for all wonderful labels that were hidden in the pages, too! Many thanks and hope that you come back soon.
Great story, much better than the movie...of course! Hard to read the end of course as while my Maggie is only 7, she is getting a wee bit of grey around her muzzle. Such is life, isn't it?
