 A woman's best friend too November 25, 2008
Poodle Lover
I read this book almost a year ago and am still in love with it. My in-laws bought the book and offered it to my husband and me to read. They all kept saying how much they enjoyed it and encouraged me to also read it. Reluctantly, I agreed. My Marley (Izzy, a then 15 year old Dachshund-Poodle mix) was not doing so great health-wise and I did not want to think about saying goodbye to her. I gave in and read it anyway and fell in love with that Marley. Perhaps reading it was a good thing because I had to say goodbye to my Izzy this past summer. It was good to know that others loved and grieved their furry babies as much as I did. So thanks to John Grogan for helping me prepare for her passing.
Oh, and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie next month!
 A must for all pet owners and lovers November 24, 2008

I don't normally read books like this, but I just got a new puppy and decided to read it for my girlfriend. I was very pleasantly surprised when I finished Marley and me. It is a must for all dog owners and will truly teach you to appreciate your dog. For me I found some parts to be boring, but for the most part there were parts that made me laugh out loud and reminded me of my puppy.

Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog November 21, 2008

I must say taking care of impulsive dogs like Marley demands patience and hard work. So I can appreciate the Grogan's dedicated care of this hyperactive dog, Marley, who had the typical traits of ADHD. Of course, dealing with ADHD people is so hard. When it comes to dogs with ADHD, that's even more difficult. He wasn't able to do as the owner told him to, made a lot of mischief, and so on - nothing was so annoying as these for most of dog owners. I might have flown off the handle if I had found his frequent misbehaviors. - "Next time you do this, you are going to the slaughterhouse! Get it?" I just wonder whether it meant animal abuse...
However, I felt Marley was John's vivid reminder when I found he received lots of e-mails after Marley's death. I guess that was mainly because most of those who e-mailed him said encouragingly that they had the same or worse experience with their misbehaved dogs. Perhaps John Grogan saw through Marley's pros as well as cons of the dog's rambunctiousness.
Anyway, without unconditional love with Marley, the hyperactive and rambunctious dog, John Grogan would never have written Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog, I'd say.
