Marley and Me

I am currently reading the 2005 book writen by James Grogan about his labador retriever named Marley. This dog he claims is the world's worst dog. As a former lab owner and current large dog master I find Grogan's book to be very funny.

I am of the opinion that there are two types of labs. One mellow the other bouncing off walls. Marley was not the former. Mine, George, was the latter. She makes my pyrenese appear as a saint. As much as I'd like another lab for outdoor purposes I think I will stay away from that breed. For that matter I plan to avoid golden retrievers as well since Sammy is destroying my mother's house as I type this.

Anyone considering a lab should read this first. Actually, anyone considering a large dog should read this. Informativve and full of humor. Despite passages of despair in trying get his wife to successfully bear children the book moves fast.

I remember my grandads old lab. A right fat barrel of a dog.

I used to take it walks as a kid and he would literally piss on every single tree and shag every other dog (regardless of sex) he saw.

A real king of a dog

Although he did have morals. Our family had a young retriever bitch at the time. She was the only dog he never tried it on with. What a gentleman

Oh, and not forgetting, when a fat lab farts......leave the room immediately.

I saw an Interview with the guy that wrote this book on one of the morning talk shows a few weeks back. he had footage of the dog acting stupid, it was pretty funny. not really a dog person myself though im more of a fish person, those seem to die on me with great frequency so at the moment i am petless

The last two chapters had me in tears. Old age does not do dogs well...
