Thank you very very much- Olivia A story from Olivia Gallagher about Thunderstorms posted 12/15/2008 We have a five year old black lab, Jack Black. He, like Marley, is terrified of thundestorms, but fortunately is not destructive. He just finds a good place to hide....under the bed, in the shower in one bathroom or in the bathtub. Surprisingly, he is also afraid to go in our pool, but readily runs into the ocean. My son and his friends tried to take him in when he was a pup, but I think he never could figure out how to get up the steps and out of the pool. We are fortunate to have two beaches close by that allow dogs and he visits often. He is truly the family dog and spends time with each family member, although technically he is my son's dog. He has brought so much to our lives and taught us all the meaning of unconditional love. While not quite as exuberant as Marley, I certainly recognized many traits in Jack. I thought you did an excellent job not only telling your story, but also educating the reader about the breed. The story of your family's evolution along with Marley was such a treat. I look forward to reading your next book. A story from Olivia about Lucy posted 03/10/2010 Hi John.I am in the middle of reading Marley and Me.I love it so far.I had a dog named Lucy who died in December 2009.She was alot like marley but she was a yorkie.We didn't put her down but we did sit with her for a whole night waiting for it to happen.I saw the movie and cried.Today in the book I put a sticky note in the place where Marley is put down.It says "Sad part.Brace yourself!!!"I love your writing and I miss Lucy and Marley dearly.We now have a dog named Neptune who is very strange.He is even more like Marley.He chews about everything up.He is a boykin spaniel.He is very loveable like Marley to.I hope to go to Blockbuster to rent Marley's movie. A story from Olivia about mini Marley (but white and 4 pounds) posted 06/10/2010 I recently got a puppy after begging my parents for one for about two years. Little did I know that my 2.1 lb. dog Paisley, would reach four pounds and at that stage eat everything, from toilet paper, tennis balls, ants (yes, really she eats ants when she's suppose to be doing her business ) and puppy training pads, not to mention a whole list of things. I have rated Marley and Me "a book that EVERYONE should read" it's just so touching and funny and sad. I love it so much!
