One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for March 24, 2025

As a kid, I cried while watching the sad part of “Old Yeller”.. I cried even more when I was sent to bed before the end of the movie.. It was a school night…

There’s probably an Air Bud movie about him doing bowling. No dog death, though.

I don’t care who dies in a movie, as long as the dog is OK.

I cried so hard when reading “Where the Red Fern Grows”.I was at home when I finished the book and was so thankful I wasn’t in class when I read the ending as it would have been embarrassing.

I’m betting Ruthie has never seen Ol’ Yeller. A classic, but I don’t believe my grandchildren have seen it.

I even cried when The Red Fern died.

Sounder. Nuff said.

Yep! The Old Sarge (husband) is a sucker for Old Yeller and war movies. Don’t let him see The Sands of Iwojima!
