Our very own Marley

A month ago we went to see Marley and Me, and it was so funny!


After leaving the theater we realized why it was so funny to us, we have our very own Marley that we can't imagine living without. She is our Discount Dog. (We paid only $80 for her)


We got her because she was just so cute and playful. She had big floppy ears that we thought she would grow into.


She got along very well with Roslyn.


She was small, close to Roslyn's size. She loves to eat! She doesn't crawl around in her food, but she does hork it down, and then belches right after.


But then the mischief started....


...and as she has gotten bigger it has gotten worse.

She now picks on Roslyn, loves carrots (so much that she will go outside and pretend to use the bathroom to get one)...

...and is now always getting into stuff. She hasn't chewed through a door just yet, but she has almost chewed through the bars of the baby gate that keeps her in the kitchen. (The bittering agent didn't work)

The reason for the post today is because I looked over and she was laying on her blanket, eating one of my pansies. Not just one of the flowers, but she had pulled out the entire plant, and was sitting there eating it!

So, I just needed a reminder of why I love her so much , thus this journey down memory lane!

we watched marley and me just a few weeks ago. jared and i just kept looking at one another with big eyes throughout the entire movie. by the time it was over we turned to each other to discuss. i was about to say "we are NEVER getting a dog" but jared was the 1st top speak. his comment: "i don't think we are ready for two kids!" bahaha.
i guess there are just years of mischief to endure until they are waiting at the bus stop for your kids to come home. ahhh.
cute post.

Ahh, we need another dog. I just can't decide what kind and when. Love those ears!
