Gone To The Dogs

I have been anticipating the movie "Marley and Me" from a very long time. I also read the book but not entirely. And I am a hardcore dog lover and wud definately keep one if it was not for my Grandmother telling me that i can't keep a dog "because i shud learn how to look after myself first. And that I am the pup in the house and she can't manage another." But I WANT A DOG. So since i cant have one myself i satisy this need by playing with other ppl's dog (MOH) and seeing movies like this. So the Premier day for "MnM" was on Friday 6th Feb. And i was fied on seein it on the first day. SO the first thing i did was invite my good friend and fellow dog lover Armaan to come and watch the movie with me. He very happily agreed, Then took the offer to my other friends Iyshu and Rini abt the film and though skeptical at first they both agreed (i threatend to hit them if they dint comply). SO the plan was made and the time was set. But u must have heard the sayin "things nver go as planned". So we went to PVR and gt the tickets in GOLD CLASS. But Armaan cudn be there becoz he wanted to go fr some other film( some dog lover huh!!! no he is, he really is). So the Three Chipsters went to see the film.

I could not believe what a great movie it was and how Marley resembled by dog Simba. he too was a Labrador and just as naughty. I laughed through all the rough times the family went thru with the "worst dog ever." I cried a lot when Marley was put to sleep. I was soo overwhelmed at that moment bcoz i realised that my dog too must has suffered soo much before we put him to sleep. But not once did he cry or make us feel that we were only harming him more by keepin him alive in that condition. I couldnt go to the vet that day when simba was being put to sleep, becoz i was too overwhelmed with my grief, which i regret everyday of my life. I should have been there with him on his last day holding his paw and giving him words of comfort and telling him that he was the best dog ive ever had and ever will and that he was the most special thing to me in the whole world... and that i could not imagine my life without my best frnd. i wanted to hold him for the last time and apologize fr all the times i shouted at him. i wanted to thank him for all the times he helped me thru tough times and greeted me everytime i walked thru the door and push me to the ground and lick me until i thought i was dead and thank him fr the undying love he showered on me that no human cud ever do. and tell him that i wud miss him a lot and i loved him soo much.

So my take on the movie 'MnM' is that u must watch it.. u will understand there is no greater bond than between a man and his dog....
