Day 23 Update & "Marley and Me"

Things have been hoppin' around the ol' Basset Ranch the last last few days. The pups are all walking fairly well. I'll be building a bigger pen for them within the next few days so they'll have more room to move around. Yes, it will be web cam friendly.

Went to see "Marley & Me" last night. Not a bad movie, but be warned: it's not what I would call a kid-friendly flick, especially the last half-hour or so. I won't go into too much detail at the risk of spoiling the movie (if you want to know what happens, that is if you haven't already guessed, you can certainly find out from other websites), the key dramatic scene is brutally honest, truthful, and emotionally touching. Oh yeah, and wait until you see Kathleen Turner as a dog trainer. I turned to Mindymom and whispered, "Holy ****! What happened to her?"

We enjoyed it, but then we didn't have to explain it to any little ones. As we left the theater we saw that scenario being played out at least three times that we noticed.
