Outside Reading #25

This will be my very last blog on the book Marley and Me written by John Grogan. In the last couple chapters I read the after effects of Marley's death. In one chapter John faced the task of where to bury the dog. He tried one spot but that failed because it filled up with water. Then he went to the cherry trees to bury Marley and this spot worked perfectly for John because he was able to dig and it reminded John that he almost ran into these trees when riding the sled with Marley. The next section was about John writting a column in his paper about Marley and what he learned about a dog that was not well behaved. John received about 800 respones by phone and email; this set a new record for him by a long shot. By reading all of these responses he learned that Marley isn't that bad of a dog when compared to other peoples strories. In the end Jenny and John were reading the newspaper and found a dog that reminded them perfectly of Marley. They decided to get that dog named Lucky.
