Geeky confession: I purchased an audio book for my drive to and from the beach last weekend.
Holly the Boston (Terror) Terrier
25 JulScoff if you will, but what else was I supposed to do on a 4.5 hour drive alone (well, kind of, I had our 6 month old puppy traveling with me)? Anyway, I listened to Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog. And, I loved every dorky minute of it. I giggled, smiled, belly-laughed and cried.
I’ve raved so much about it that my mom is reading the book now. She has a “Marley” dog herself, named Holly. Holly is a 10 month old Boston Terrier who gives Marley a run for his money in the “World’s Worst Dog” category. As of late, Holly has eaten the entire arm off of a chair, and knocked out every screen on the back porch – to make it more exit friendly, I presume. She’s also chewed a hole in the wall (twice), consumed a few razors, and destroyed many a shoe in her short 9 months in their home.
As horrible as Holly is, much like Marley in the book, my parents accept her for her faults – and love her anyway. Dogs, after all, show us unconditional love…I guess it’s only fair that we do the same for them.
