We smelled that damn manure on the dog's fur for a good year after that, despite frequent baths. She wasn't the worst dog, but she ranked up there among the dumbest.

A few of them have worse stories than Marley. I imagine most people have had a few things destroyed by their pups over the years, including me. I'll have to look for those books you mention. I also have been thinking about re-visiting my James Herriott books. Lots of great dog stories in them!

He's got nothing on my late dog Sophie. I've been reading a lot of dog books lately, unsentimental ones. Jon Katz's book about dogs is good, and although the author's name eludes me, the books How to Speak Dog and How Dogs Think are good. The combination of my adopting two new dogs at the same time and being appalled by the recent trend towards dogs as fashion accessories has got me thinking about the connection between dogs and humans. Not sure where this interest is going, but there's some interesting stuff to read.

I bought it Monday at 7 PM and finished it Wednesday at 9:12 PM. I think all dog lovers deserve to treat themselves to this book. Have any of you read “Marley & Me”?

Our own beautiful little 19 month old girl is in a phase where she actively seeks out things to wrap around her neck - shirts, pants, tube socks, belts - anything. Of course, we vigilantly take these things away, and long ago removed cords for window blinds and lamps and so on...... but certainly when she's 6 years old, our alert-level will be lower. Stories like those make my (remaining) hairs turn gray, and put wrinkles in my forehead Dorothy – it took me all day, but I finally braced myself and clicked that link, and read about half of it before bailing out…but not before seeing pictures of the hauntingly beautiful little girl, and the proud family dog.

Can I e-mail you a Word document with the recipe? I'll need your address. The Golden we own was a rescue of sorts. We adopted him right after we moved to South Carolina about 16 months ago. Someone had shot him in the front left leg! He's doing just great. Boy that was a sad story, that one in the Times.
