[Magdalen] Little Things

[Jim Handsfield]

It's amazing what we remember for no reason at all.  Not long after we were married, Marcy and I were watching Lady and the Tramp on TV.  I don't remember if it was on video tape or HBO.  I had seen it when it first came out too many years ago.

In the scene where Trusty and Scotty, followed by Lady, were running after the dog catcher taking Tramp to the pound, Trusty catches up and barks/snaps at the horse which causes it to shy, causing the cart to overturn.  Tramp is saved, but Trusty is hurt.  Scotty sniffs at Trusty and begins to howl in sorrow.

I heard a sound by me and turned to see Marcy crying for Trusty.  That was the first time I saw Marcy cry over a movie scene.
