Monday 2/9 Marley and Me

The story starts when John Grogan, the main character and author of the book, talks about the story of his first dog named Saint Shawn. He was a great dog and was good at learning tricks and would never go to the bathroom in the house, he was the perfect dog. He died after 14 years, it was only the second time Johns dad had cried since he was married.
When John was all grown up he married a woman named Jenny,one day Hanny was looking in the newspaper adds for a dog. Both of them have jobs in the newspaper business, so at first John thought she was just studying over some of the articles. It turned out that she wanted a dog. She said she wanted to get one as a practice before they had kids,because she had just killed a plant John had given her and said to John how can i keep a baby alive if i cant even take care of this plant.
John agrees to get a dog and they go and pick one out together. In order for John to pick a dog he has to shake the cage and see which one's didnt run away. There was only one that didnt and the owner said she would sell them that one for 350 instead of 375, Jenny could never back down on a bargain so they got clearance dog. They would have to wait 3 weeks before picking him up.
John and Jenny had a hard time deciding on a name. They finally heard a song playing sung by Bob Marley, who they listened to a lot while they were dating. At the same time they called out the name Marley and that became the new puppies name.
Jenny was not there when John went to pick up Marley because she was visiting her sister. John was secretly glad, because this meant he could have Marley all to himself for a while. When it came time to go to bed Marley started whining as soon as John left, so Marley ended up sleeping right next to his bed.
