Did you see the movie "A Dogs Life"? Makes you wonder about afterlife, even of pets. NH poet Robert Frost said that dogs will be in heaven a half hour before we know it.freeski wrote:That's a very fluffy dog.

A Dog's Life or A Dog's Purpose? I just finished reading the latter. Not enough tissues...f.a.s.t. wrote:Did you see the movie "A Dogs Life"? Makes you wonder about afterlife, even of pets.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
I couldn't take the thought yet of reading A Dog's Purpose... The fluff head was my first dog as an adult - though Mr Killy had several when we first met. He (my dog) wormed his way into my heart with his need for help - and we rescued him from a pretty bad situation. We only had him for 5 and half years, but they were the best 5 and half years of his life, and I know he was grateful. He told me with his eyes on a daily basis. (You had to pull the fur back from his schnoz to see the eyes...)Bubba wrote:A Dog's Life or A Dog's Purpose? I just finished reading the latter.

If I ever get over losing him, then maybe I'll read that book. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Today is five months to the day that we had to say goodbye to Jazzy so reading A Dog's Purpose was hard. Still planning on watching the movie but maybe not for another couple of weeks.killyfan wrote:I couldn't take the thought yet of reading A Dog's Purpose...

Moving on now to something completely different - Rickey & Robinson by Roger Kahn - about Branch Rickey, Jackie Robinson, and the integration of baseball.

On my 4th Lab with many German Shepards in the middle. The deal going in is a tough goodbye.
It's worth it every time.

Neil Young - Old King
"Old King"
"King went a-runnin' after deer
Wasn't scared of jumpin'
off the truck in high gear
King went a-sniffin'
and he would go
Was the best old hound dog
I ever did know.
I had a dog and his name was King
I told the dog about everything
There in my truck the dog and I
Then one day the King up and died.
Then I thought about
the times we had
Once when I kicked him
when he was bad
Old King sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history.

That old King was a friend of mine
Never knew a dog
that was half as fine
I may find one, you never do know
'Cause I still got a long way to go."

Re: What book are you currently reading?
a classic for sure...but the dialogue is hard for me to follow due to the complexity....
pretty sure one those boys just realized he identifies as a girl...
