There’s nothing better than a proposal… unless you throw a puppy in the mix. Want to show your girl that you’re more than committed? Here are three ideas on how to propose with a ring and a fuzzy new fur-baby.

1. Ring around the collar. Surprise her with a puppy and tell her that you want to raise it together, and tell her to look at his/her collar. You can even have the ring and, “Will you marry me?” on there! Talk about a way to show commitment! If there’s no baby in the mix, a puppy is the first step… right?

2. Have your dog deliver the message. If you have a dog together, or one of you has a dog already, use this to your advantage. Take a picture of the puppy with a, “Will You Marry Me?” sign or, “Will You Be My Mommy?” or however you want to work it. OR you can have the dog greet her at the door with the same time of deal. However you do it, there’s nothing cuter than one of the four-legged getting in on the moment.

3. Dog Park Excitement. Spend a day out at the dog park enjoying the company and atmosphere. Find a moment to put the ring on your puppy (as long as it’s safe!) and be like, “hey, boy, what did you find?” and then have her look to find her ring! Drop to one knee, untie that ring, and ta-dah! You’re engaged!
