Ms.Huxtable Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I feel the need to protect you all from what I had to go through last night. The pain I endured can be prevented so I urge you, please, do not watch Marley and Me.Seriously, it's not a tear jerker. It's an all out body shaking, sobbing, nose running, 10 tissue, steady stream of tears running down your neck and onto your chest kind of movie.Why anyone would subject themselves to that kind of feeling on purpose is beyond my comprehension.Just a public service announcement.

Basher Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 It is also a terrible movie, especially if you have read the book, which was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hux, I hear ya. We sat down to watch it with the kids a week ago. I wasn't expecting much really, and I knew what was to happen at the end. What I didn't expect was exactly what you described. Holy shit, we were all messes by the end of it and all down on the floor hugging and petting our dogs (who are getting very geriatric at this point). Brutal. I'm starting to get chocked up again now ... must leave this thread ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 When I was a lad And old shep was a pup Over hills and meadows wed stray Just a boy and his dog We were both full of fun We grew up together that way I remember the time at the old swimmin hold When I would have drowned beyond doubt But old shep was right there To the rescue he came He jumped in and then pulled me out As the years fast did roll Old shep he grew old His eyes were fast growing dim And one day the doctor looked at me and said I can do no more for him jim With hands that were trembling I picked up my gun And aimed it at sheps faithful head I just couldnt do it I wanted to run I wish they would shoot me instead He came to my side And looked up at me And laid his old head on my knee I had struck the best friend that a man ever had I cried so I scarcely could see Old shep he has gone Where the good doggies go And no more with old shep will I roam But if dogs have a heaven Theres one thing I know Old shep has a wonderful home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I read the book when weeks after we got our first puppy. I almost couldn't finish it as I knew what was coming in the end. I definitely hugged my puppy a ton while reading it. It was a sweet book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
