HI I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SHARE MY FEELINGS AFTER I WATCHED "MARLEY & ME" THIS AFTERNOON. I AM A CAT LADY-BUT LOVE FOR ANY PET IS A UNIVERSAL THING WE CAN ALL RELATE TO. I CRIED MY EYES OUT FOR LIKE THE LAST 20 MINUTES OF THIS MOVIE. THE NICE THINGS WAS, THERE WAS ALOT OF HUMOR IN THIS FILM AS WELL AS TEARS. THE SUBJECT OF LOSING A PET WAS TREATED VERY SENSITIVELY AND I FEEL THIS IS A GOOD FILM FOR FAMILY DISCUSSION AFTERWORDS. I THOUGHT OF MY OWN MORTALITY AS WELL AS THAT OF MY PETS. MY CATS WERE IN ANOTHER ROOM AS I WATCHED THE MOVIE- WHICH MAY BE A GOOD THING BECAUSE THEY MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT I WAS NUTS LOL THIS IS BASED ON A BOOK BY THE SAME NAME. GOD BLESS!

For those of us who love pets, we are easy to get that LES. When I started reading the book "Dewey" I started crying on the first page because I knew he had died..That is a very good book if you haven't read it.

YES- I KNOW THE BOOK- EVEN THOUGH THE END WAS SAD- IT WASN'T DRAWN OUT. I KNEW THE CAT PASSED AWAY WHEN I WAS BUYING THE BOOK IN A BOOKCLUB. I THOUGHT IS WAS NICELY DONE. IT REALLY GETS ME DEEP DOWN WHEN IT'S A CAT-BUT THAT ISN'T TO TAKE AWAY FROM DOGS- I JUST HAVE LIVED WITH CATS-AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD DEAL SOMETIMES WITHOUT ANY ONE OF THEM. THERE IS ANOTHER BOOK OUT WITH A BLACK KITTEN ON THE COVER-AND IT SAYS IT HELPS HEAL A FAMILY-ALREADY I WAS CHOKING UP. WELL I GUESS THAT IS ALL PART OF THE TERRITORY WHEN YOU SHARE LIFE AND LOVE WITH A PET. TAKE IT EASY! SUSANSWATLIN518
