Would you marry your dog if you could?

Fox News thinks there is going to be an outbreak of it.

Personally, I support Human/Dog marriages as long as Human/Cat marriages are also acknowledged. My taxes would go down significantly!

Without that, we'll just continue living in sin.

Just not to me.

Little Millie is actually really good for keeping me calm and making me smile!

It's almost better than a health plan!

Some mixed terrier thing.

Here's my favorite pic, not long after I got her, throughout check up by vet, cleaned up and happy!:

There are three, and it would really be hard to choose only one of them.

I think it may be called "polydogory" but honestly, I'm making the word up, so if you know the real one....

What kind of dogs do you have?

Those are the most grateful, of course. And given their backgrounds, marrying only one would be traumatic to the other two.

If it however means that they get in to my insurance... Hell, I'm all for it.
I would consider it as just another form of union.

In fact, all the cats I have shared my home with for the past 65 years have thought that. Marry your MOTHER? WEIRD. Never had a dog, so maybe that is different somehow.
