Outside Reading #22

For this outside reading blog I have read another chapter of the book Malrey and Me written by John Grogan. In this chapter Jenny is going to Boston with the kids to go and visit some relatives. John stayed back at home so he could do his job. With that John was working 10 to 12 hours a day. Since John was not going to be home Marley was going to a kennel so somone could take care of the old dog. When at the kennel Marley has an emergency. His stomach has a lot of food, water and gas in there and it starts to stretch and flipping therefore trapping its contents. The vets at the kennel were able to save Marley and bring life back into him The doctor in charge told John who is a ways away that the chance that this wont happen again is 1% and that once the stomach turns it will take a few hours before he dies. When John goes to pick him up at the kennel he is able to walk but Marley still is in poor shape.
