Marley and Me

Saw Marley and Me last night (the second half of it anyway) - what a great movie. So many tears... made me want another dog even more.

I'm not usually an Owen Wilson fan, but I thought he played John well, and I liked John. I like that he wanted to stick it out even when things got tough. I like that he and Jen were honest with each other and honest about how tough life was at times. Love to watch it again, from the beginning next time!!

'A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? '
John Grogan*

* I thought one of the kids said his name was xx Grogan when he'd written a message to Marley, but I thought I must have misheard it - surely they wouldn't choose that as the name for the family. But when I found the quote, sure enough, there it was... John Grogan!
