I was in my friend, Mary's house and we were watching the film Marley and Me. The story is so simple and if your a pet owner you can really relate to it. I'm sure everybody who has or had a dog can see some of the antics that Marley got up to. When Marley leg hugged the dog trainer, it reminded me that my first dog Topsy did the same with the milkman. My dog Topsy like Marely would wait for me to get off the school bus. Topsy was named after my dad's dog. I remember we couldn't think of a name for our ginger cat, until we noticed one of my cousin's eating mints so we named the cat Minty. Though I can never remember any of my dogs destroying furniture, I do recall Millie(named after the year we got her, 1988, course it got shortened from millenium) the cat clawing the chair in my room. Boy do I relate to Marley's owner with the issue of STORMS, when there was one, Daisy made a bee line to my bedroom. She wouldn't come down until she was ready! She was half corkie half Jane Russell and very stubborn. When Marley was being put down it reminded me of the time when Daisy our last dog was being put down. The poor dog had a tumour for six week before we discovered.
But despite all their faults we all love our pets.
I would love to hear your memories

We got a dog for the first time late last year. As a kid I never had a dog, although we had a cat for a short while that had to be put down. I remember crying my eyes out when my dad came home to tell me.
Our dog is called Charlie and he's mainly cocker spaniel with a bit of labrador and red setter, according to our vet. He's in heaven when he's chasing tennis balls in the park. Unfortunately he loves muddy puddles. He'll run all the way across the park to the area where the muddy puddles are and jump straight in.
He's aprt of the family now, we can't imagine not having a dog. The 2 kids love him and he fits right in. We have to walk him twice a day so it forces us to get out as well. I'd recommend a dog to anyone providing there's someone around the house most of the time.
Charlie is a rescue dog. He was abandoned wandering the streets with no ID so we took him in, however as a year has passed and nobody claimed him, he's now officially ours! Just as well as there would be serious broken hearts if we had to give him away.
