Pets In Weddings

It's a fact. Nantucket Island <3s dogs. And dogs love Nantucket. Jason and I have three ruff and tumble little furballs. Somepeople don't really like to call our chihuahuas dogs, but really, Kodi has kicked some bigger dog's butt's in the past.

  

Yea, those are our three cheeseburgers. One thing I've learned over the years as a dog owner, though, is that there are certain times and places for these guys. They get overwhelmed in crowds (like their mama) and they are pretty protective. Oh, and because they're pretty much spoiled rotten, the extent of their obedience pretty much ends at "sit". To get them to walk down an aisle seems pretty much out of the question.

Our officiant,  the inspirational and amazing Rev. Ted Anderson, suggested with nix the doggies in the processional. And I agree. I love our dogs, I am that person who would stop their car in the middle of the road and pick up a stray animal just because. (and have) If you know me at all, you know my biggest passion is animal welfare. 

With that being said, the welfare of my pets isn't getting them all cutesy for the wedding. If I decide at the last minute they can handle it, maybe I will. But for now, I'm pretty well convinced it will make me and my future husband's lives a lot easier if they're happy resting at home on the couch. 

Besides, dogs don't know it's a wedding. They're not missing anything. 

Till next time.
