Marley

Marley is always present in our lives.  She is my constant shadow.  The kids love her.  They love having her around and hugging on her and her unconditional love for all of them.  She's kind of the best dog ever.  She doesn't chew on things.  She doesn't eat things off the counter, even though her nose is right at counter height.  She mostly just lays around ALL THE TIME.  She doesn't shed.  The only hard thing about her is that her hair needs to be trimmed a lot.  We do it ourselves, and as a consequence she often looks not so great. She still loves us though.

She likes to sleep right next to me on the floor of the bedroom.  That's where we put her bed because that's where she lays anyway.
