John Grogan _ Marley & Me: Life and Love
the entire dining room table on his shoulders and bounce it around the room, could now barely pull himself up. He groaned in pain when he lay down, and groaned again when he struggled to his feet. I did not realize just how weak his hips had become until one day when I gave his rump a light pat and his hindquarters collapsed beneath him as though he had just received a cross-body block. Down he went. It was painful to watch. Climbing the stairs to the second floor was becoming increasingly difficult

John Grogan _ Marley & Me: Life and Love
That's when it happened. So fast, in fact, that we didn't even realize it had happened. All we knew was that one instant we were sitting at a lovely outdoor table toasting the beautiful day, and the next our table was on the move, crashing its way through the sea of other tables, banging into innocent bystanders, and making a horrible, ear-piercing, industrial-grade shriek as it scraped over the concrete pavers.

John Grogan _ Marley y yo: La vida y el amor
Cuando creía que se le acababa la cuerda, él se recuperaba. Le cogí la cara entre mis manos y lo obligue a mirarme a los ojos «Me harás saber cuando llegue tu hora, ¿no?», dije, más a modo de declaración que de pregunta. No quería tomar la decisión por mí mismo. «Me lo harás saber, ¿no es cierto?»
book-quote
John Grogan _ Marley & Me: Life and Love
Whatever false sense of security the contraption had once offered us was gone. Each time we left, even for a half hour, we wondered whether this would be the time that our manic inmate would bust out and go on another couch-shredding, wall-gouging, door-eating rampage. So much for peace of mind.

John Grogan _ Marley & Me: Life and Love
could almost taste the finiteness of life and thus its preciousness. We take it for granted, but it is fragile, precarious, uncertain, able to cease at any instant without notice. I was reminded of what should be obvious but too often is not, that each day, each hour and minute, is worth cherishing."

John Grogan _ Marley y yo: La vida y el amor
A un perro no le importa si uno es rico o pobre, educado o iletrado, listo o aburrido. Si uno le brinda el corazón, él responderá brindando el suyo
book-quote
John Grogan _ Marley and Me
A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.

John Grogan _ Marley and Me: Life and Love
I nostri animali hanno vite molto brevi da trascorrere con noi, e ne trascorrono la maggior parte ad aspettare che torniamo a casa ogni giorno.

John Grogan _ Bad Dogs Have More Fun:
The rhythm of solitude, once so intimidating, began to feel comfortable. Aloneness, I was learning, does not have to equal loneliness.

John Grogan _ Marley & Me: Life and Love
In a dog's life, some plaster would fall, some cushions would open, some rugs would shred. Like any relationship, this one had its costs. They were costs we came to accept and balance against the joy and amusement and protection and companionship he gave us. We could have bought a small yacht with what we spent on our dog and all the things he destroyed. Then again, how many yachts wait by the door all day for your return? How many live for the moment they can climb in your lap or ride down the hill with you on a toboggan, licking your face?
book-quote
John Grogan _ Marley and Me: Life and Love
Na solidão da noite, quase conseguia sentir a finitude da vida e como ela era preciosa. Nós damo-la como garantida, mas ela é frágil, precária, incerta, susceptível de acabar a qualquer momento sem aviso. Lembrei-me daquilo que devia ser evidência mas nem sempre é: que vale a pena saborear cada dia, cada hora e cada minuto das nossas vidas.
book-quote
John Grogan _ Marley and Me: Life and Love
A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated of illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not.
