Marley and Me

WoW...this is really me!! *giggle* Behold!! A new hilarious, touching, unbelievable yet still on earth story is launched for every dog lovers in d world. Marley and Me, Life and love with the worst dog in the world. Yess....this is a very story about a pure Labrador Retriever named Marley *when we still on it, can u guess whom Marley dog was named after? It was no other than Bob Marley!!* Marley is a hyperactive dog. just exactly the same with what i have back at home hoho, that cute lil beast ^^ You know, what makes this book great? the story is ain't so sweet, i mean not like those stories about dogs that are just soooo sweet like those J.CO's things ;p well, i didn't say that i against those sweet stories of dog, hell no, i love everything about dogs, just name it. May it be cute lil cihuahua to a remarkable, composed, handsome Golden Retriever to even "Kampoeng" dog, i love them all. Million thanks to God, I give you my praises for creating such a wonderful creature of all ~fufufu~ But, those stories *eventhough they're real stories* seemed like a fairy tale, you know, like a cinderella kind of things. Yet, i like reading those though, no matter how sweet they are, if it's about dog, bring it on!!

Okay, back to the book, like i said, this book offers two sides of a dog. Marley was a naughty, attention demanding dog. When i say attention demanding, i mean REALLY demanding. It even said in the book that Marley had some kind of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Geez, the name couldn't be cooler than that hahaha he was also very destructive. What do you expect from a hyper dog anyway?? a composed and charming dog that curls beside you in a bed?? Hell no, dream on people ^^ He was comical and responsive, and...very eager *all the time, except when he slept* His sense of obedience was almost zero. Marley attended an obedience class, and only 2 times attended that class, Marley was kicked out of class. A part when Marley, John and Jenny (his owner) joined the class is very funny i couldn't stop laughing. I laughed from the bottom of my heart hi3 it must have been like a hundred years before, the last time i laughed real hard by just reading a book. But Marley had a pure heart, he was so loving in his own way. This what makes this book sparkling. Every creature has them, right? those two sides, good and bad. This story offers us those, not always the good and sweet side. In life, you got them as a whole, one packet. Eehhm...but not that creature...snake, SNAKE AND ITS FAMILY, they don't have any, for God's sake, THEY JUST DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD POINT!!! snake is bad, evil creature on its own, THEY'RE BAD i'm telling you #my heart is thumping real fast now, this is how strong IT affects me# dog....cute dog....dog....okay, i managed to pull myself together ^^v back to Marley. I haven't finished reading the book yet, but by scanning the last pages, i knew that Marley was already back to Father in Heaven. On the back of the front cover, there are pictures of Marley posing cutely when he was still a puppy. On the back cover, pictures of Marley in his old days.

Reading the first 2 chapters, somehow, strangely i reminded of my lil beast at home. He is...say, a little out of his mind. He has no obedience at all, if Marley had it zero, then mine is minus 100. We can't control him at all. He can run everywhere with no sense of direction, i guess there's a program inside his damaged brain that always produces a random direction for him to follow. He doesn't obey what i say, driving me crazy. I love him, really. Even with his twisted brain, i do love him. I picked him from a bunch of puppies, he looked at me and i fell in love. But it's tiring, sucking your energy out of you. I never had a dog like him before. There were dogs with different personalities I had. Even the naughtiest one obeyed me. And now, here you are, a beast in the form of dog with a damaged brain unlike any other in the world!! But now, reading the story about Marley, i really want to give myself a second chance to see the beauty of my own dog. Yeah some sort of letting him to prove himself that he's worthy to be a part of my family. I know i said this a lot before, but...this time, i do mean it, i miss him.
