While I am not privileged to be owned by a pet at this point in time, my sister is an utter slave to her miniature schnauzer, Gus. When I asked her what she thought about pets in attendance at weddings, she positively gushed over the idea. She said, “I’d never leave my little cooties Gus Gus Gus at home!” Or something to that effect…

Pet lovers will be glad to hear one of the hottest trends of the 2006 bridal scene was the inclusion of beloved pets to the wedding party. Elle at Wedaholic.com has a wonderful post about all kinds of things she’s discovered for including pets in weddings. There are even pet clothiers! And don’t forget while planning the honeymoon, you can also find pet friendly hotels and resorts. Check out Pets Welcome and Pet Friendly Hotels Directory for places to start. Always call ahead and make sure they are still accepting pet friendly reservations.

While I’m not sure I could ever be that crazy about a pet, I must admit the red tuxedo at Alexis Creations is pretty darn adorable. I just might have to buy one for sweet little Gus. I’m sure we’ll have occasion to dress him up sometime… Who me? Dog crazy? Sorry, you have the wrong sister!
