Proposing with Pets

 

 
If your fur-babies are just as important to you as your real ones will be some day, then what better way to propose than by incorporating their sweetness in the proposal? Here are 4 ideas on how to get her to say “yes” while enlisting the help of a four-legged friend.

Pets1. Dress ’em up. Dogs and cats are adorable on their own, but having a custom collar or sweater with, “Will You Marry Me?” on it is definitely unbeatable. Surprise your significant other when she comes home, or at the dog park, or even with a new addition to your family-to-be (the furry kind, I mean). This is a great alternative to the usual of putting the ring on the collar. She comes home, is greeted by her loving kanine or feline, only there’s something a little different. When she sees the message, you can appear or be waiting in the other room on one knee.

2. Dog Park Scavenger Hunt. Plan a scavenger hunt at the park that your girl must complete with your Fido. Set up clues (that also include dog treats), and end the game with your dog retrieving a new toy that just happens to have the ring inside! When he drops the ball, retrieve the ring (make sure you’re kneeling), and pop the question! Just make sure that the toy is securely closed. You don’t want to have to wand and retrieve that ring before putting it on your girl’s finger.

3. Teach a new trick. If you’re still on the dog-side of things, teach your dog an “up” trick where he may be begging. If he already knows this trick, call her into the room and have him do it– only put the ring on his nose or paws. Again, make sure your dog knows not to eat the treat– have an edible one ready for him while your new fiance takes the ring! Not a dog person? How about a bird? teach your parrot to say, “Will You Marry Me?” when he’s perched on your shoulder (or your knee if you’re kneeling)!

4. Take out an ad. Newspapers, Craigslist, Facebook– somewhere you know she’ll see it. There are always advertisements for puppies and kittens. Take an ad out, pick your pet of choice, make sure he/she has a bow on, and let the advertisement do the rest. Address it directly to her with something along the lines of, “Come pick me up to receive more than one surprise!” You can be waiting (with your new furry friend) at the designated spot and have a romantic proposal planned to boot.

If all else fails, tying the ring or a sign around your furry friend’s neck and sending him “mama’s” way is a sure-fire way to get a yes, too!
