Outside reading #20

I read another chapter of the book Marley and Me by John Grogan. Now with Marley becoming old he is losing his eyesight and is less mobile then he was before. Marley no longer chases or reacts to a bunny rabbit then runs a couple dozen yards in front of him. This allows John to assume that his dog is blind. Also Marley cannot move around as much as he used to. It is explained that he has to get a running start to get going up the stairs and that sometimes he makes it up half way and has to turn around. Marley also puts in a lot of effort to get up and lay down. Another thing that is talked about in the beginning of the chapter is that Marley has really bad farts. It is said he can clear an entire room full of people. Marley will even leave himself it is said to be that bad.
