Marley and HD

Posted by admin | Filed under Wacky Pet Stories

Tonight we finally watched “Marley and Me.”  I had read and enjoyed the book and borrowed the movie (before I read the book, I thought a movie about a dog….how sappy, at least its not “Airbud Part 5″).  I really enjoyed the movie too.  Very sweet and touching, especially if you are a dog person.

Well, our dog has a little endearing foible relating to animals, as viewed on TV.  Whenever she sees pets on TV, she is prone to : bark, run up the the tv, put her paws on the screen (to my husband’s horror) and run around the tv stand looking for the animals and sometimes a quick check over in the fireplace (just in case).  No matter how many times we tell her “no” and she finds no animals, she can’t stop.  Well, this movie just about drove her nuts; its hard to blame her; our TV is quite large and HD receptive, so the pets do look very real and attainable.  Finally, we snuggled her in a blanket and covered her head (like a canary) and she went to sleep.  All those TV dogs proved just too much for her sensitive constitution.

    That is hillarious! I’m glad you found a solution before she scratched your screen. The husband would have had a coronary!! I’m also glad you liked the movie. Did you cry like a baby at the end? : )

    of course! All these hormones have rendered me defenseless against any emotional movie scenes–especially if they involve pets or babies!
