Last Feature

Marley & Me
Marley & Me is the classic story of mans best friend, with a funny twist. John and Jenny are newly wed and want to be prepared for kids. So they decide to get a dog. Marley was the puppy they choose. The first night was a dream, but the rest, was a nightmare. Marley would wreck the house, eat everything, and drool, a lot. He was only good in using the bathroom. After a few years John and Jenny were ready to have a baby. The first was a miscarriage. But then it was a success. Marley was always kind with the baby. A few years down the road, Marley stared in a movie. He was only a small part, but it was a big deal for the family. More time past and 2 more kids were added to the family. The small house in Florida was too small for five people and a big dog. So they moved. They moved just in time to see there first snow fall. Everyone enjoyed it.
The sad point in the book isn’t until the end. Marley’s stomach twisted and he was suffering from old age. The vet suggested that they put him down. But Marley made a remarkable recovery. The next few months were spent with Marley and strict instructions from the vet. Everything was going great until Marley’s stomach twisted again. This time, the vet could not fix it. They decided to put Marley down. The family thought the proper thing to do was to have a funeral. So John dug a big hole in the back yard and they buried Marley. It was a sad ceremony. A few weeks later, John and Jenny saw an add for a puppy who looked and supposedly acted like Marley. The story ends with John and Jenny going to look at the possible new dog.
