Just watched Marley & Me

[JudynTX]

Yeah, they basically just rehash the last scene from Scarface.

What was this movie rated? Sheesh!

[SpursWoman]

I had no idea what it was about, I thought it was a happy kid flick ... I had considered getting the DVD for my neice's Easter basket. I'm glad I went with My Little Pony instead.

PG -13 with a dog?
is it like Cujo?

[Strike]

And movies are all made to be realistic?

Did I say all? Find the word all in my previous post. It's ok, I'll wait.

I like movies that inspire me to hope, not ones that remind me of the painful realities of life.
I have to deal with reality enough as it is.

And there are real life homeward bound stories- like the cat that took a trip in his owner's suitcase.

[Strike]

Fair enough. I'm in a crappy mood today. Nothing personal.

To be fair, it inspired me to spend more time with my elderly cat when i knew she was dying..and to take more time to myself instead of going out and getting another one the next day.

The story isn't just about the end, it's about the whole life of Marley and how he was part of the family and how the family wasn't a family without him.

Cheer up!

Point taken.

I am sure the movie had many excellent life lessons. But with life lesson movies I like to know in advance that that is what I am in for.

I would have been crushed at Marley and Me because I expected it to have a family and dog live happily ever after type ending.

Your optimistic at ude is sickening. And yet, strangely motivational. I'm caught in a bit of quandary.

I am not always optimistic. I do try though.

If you saw what I almost posted in the Spurs thread about the play offs you would know that I get grumpy/ apathetic just like everyone else.

[blizz]

Yeah it was rough at the end. Everyone in the theater was crying like a baby. It brought back bad memories of when we had to put my dog down.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I've had to put down two of my great danes over the years, and those dogs are like children. I think I'll have to pass on seeing this one.

[NASCARdad]

So is this like Ole Yeller?

Sorry to hear that. Our pets are like family members to us.

[Bigzax]

damn, a Christmas release with a dead dog...that's just great.

[Taco]

a bit of a tear jerker

[angel_luv]

Strike, I thought of you and our conversation about real life happy endings in this thread when I read the following story.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_chihuahua_touchdown
WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Tinker Bell has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight. Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK.

The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away.

Dorothy Utley tells The Detroit News that her cherished pet "just went wild" upon seeing her.

So is this like Ole Yeller?

I doubt it's anywhere close to being that good, I heard Marley & Me was stupid.

[mookie2001]

I have a 3-yr old great dane right now, since he was just a 6-week old puppy. I've read that they live short lives. I only feed him super-premium food, the kind you can't buy in the HEBs and Pet Smarts around town. Maybe he'll be healthier and live a couple years longer.
He is a huge big baby, and I'm very attached to him.
I will be devastated when he goes.
