So the movie “Marley and me” is out in the cinema. I am really looking forward to seeing it and i must remember to bring a box load of tissues with me. I know this because the book had me in tears when i read it last year and before i even watched the trailer for the movie i started to cry. A little bit of a sap much Sandy????

Why so feicin emotional? Well anyone who knows me, knows when it comes to animals i am a gonner. Any animal covered in fleas to spick and span i am a sucker for.

So Trilo and me… i don’t know what i would do without her. Trilo and me have each other 8 years now. I got her as a puppy, she was the only female of the litter and had two black brothers. I decided to go with a girl because girls don’t lift their legs. Our song is it was playing on the radio on the drive back to my house. I remember  i used to bring my duvet and sleep with her out by the back door. She wouldn’t stop crying. But then i started sneaking her into my bedroom  and there she stays every night. I can’t even remember her going to the toilet in the house, she never did.  She’s so good.

I got Trilo nearly a year after my dog Rex had died, it was hard at the start and  i wasn’t sure if i was fully ready but it felt right. I learned that Trilo was a completely different dog to Rex and love her for everything she is.

Trilo has been through a lot over her 8 years. When she was 3 i moved her down to Cork with me and she has been with me ever since, bar about 6 months when i was living in a spot where i couldn’t have her and boy did i miss her loads.

I don’t care that when we go out for spins that i can’t go into a restaurant and eat a nice dinner,  it’s more fun sitting in the car or even on a blanket outside the car as we do now. No matter how cold it is.

Trilo has been ill the last few months and is only now starting to come round. Something happended her whether a stroke or something that left her with her head cocked at a wierd angle. When she looks down the stairs her ear is touching her paws, it is really funny to be honest. And she was sleeping loads, which works out well because i sleep loads too, way too much but she’s getting much better so from the New Year on we are going to start been more active.

Trilo goes everywhere with me, she sleeps with me. I don’t know what i would have done without her in my life the past few months as she has been the best company ever, even though i have been a bad owner, she hasn’t been walked much but she didn’t seem to mind that. But now i think she is starting to improve in her health it’s time to get out again.

She’s lying right here beside me now as i write this and she feels all lovely and soft and special. And she does have her crazy times, like when she chases people for no apparent reason. She is a nervous dog and very much perhaps way to much stuck with me.

So Trilo and me…sandytrilo
