All right, readers (all 7 or so of you, including the casual browser), I pose to you this question:
CAN ONE SET UP A WEDDING REGISTRY FOR A DOG?
The sitch:
Andy and I have an established household - there is not one piece of kitchen gadgetry or bed linen or furniture that we need.
For traditionalists, we have created an online wishlist at M.E.C. - we do actually need a new tent and sleeping bags . . .
But more than anything else, we want our doggies.
So what we (well, I, and then I had to convince the Pie it wasn't tacky, which is what I'm doing now with this poll) were thinking is that we would set up a bank account for our future dog(s). Any contributions would not only contribute to the purchasing of said canines, but would also go towards their shots, their food, their vet bills, their supplies . . . you name it - dogs are a constant expense.
I mean, people either give money or stuff at weddings, and seeing as we don't need the stuff . . . all of our guests are close friends or family, and I think they would all get a kick out of the wedding present that keeps on giving - they'd all own part shares in the furry little buggers.
Obviously, I have to work on the wording a little bit, but I thought I would accompany the missive on the wedding website (coming soon - talk to Rachelle!) with some pictures of the puppies in question.
So what are your thoughts? Ask your friends, too - so far the poll at my place of work is that it's a great idea, but I think they're a little biased, considering the nature of our biznas.
Lemme know!

P.S I am only slightly biased.

Posted by: Alio at May 27, 2008 10:04 AMThat is such a great idea. I think i'm going to steal the idea and write a post about it.
And yes, it's so much better than fancy china plates that you'll use maybe twice in your life.
