This is my Marley.



This is my "Marley". After Jasmin died I wanted to read the book Marley & Me but couldn't bring myself to do it until about a year after she had been gone. Needless to say I cryed my eyes out and had a hard time finishing the book, but I did. I just took the kids to see Marley & Me the movie and I again cryed my eyes out. It reminded me of my Jasmin. She was the dog that I started my adult life out with. Tim and I got her in December of 1996 two months after I moved to Monroe. She absorbed alot of tears, it was a hard transition at first. She lived in my apartment with me, sometimes at Tim's apartment and got into alot of trouble. She chewed the arm off my couch, chewed up a footstool, and countless other things. One day I came home and she had chewed up a three pack of papertowel it looked like it snowed, and underneath it all was a blue ballpoint pen chewed up and leaked all over. She was with me when I got married, when we rented the house, bought a house and brought home not 1 kid but 2. She went through it all. It's been a little over three years, I still miss her. I hope everyone who is a dog lover has had their own "Marley". The dog you tell stories about forever and the dog that no other dog will ever measure up to.
