Pig Wedding: For richer or porker?

In the news today is a wedding in Taiwan for a couple of real pigs. The two were wed to call attention to the Year of the Pig which started February 4th. More than 100 guests attended the pig ceremony.

Think animal weddings are weird? The Fur really flies over the practice and you can read more about them in "Muttrimony & Other Pet Nuptials" in BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS (ISBN 1402729677) scheduled for release in April.

The porcine wedding raised money to buy a new van for handicapped children.

Doggie Nuptials & Puppy Showers

I just came across this doggie nuptial article in the Porterville Reporter. There seems to be a little bit of confusion--puppy showers are not attended by puppies but by humans --and the protocol is that they should be held BEFORE the new pet arrives. (Can you imagine trying to have a party with a bunch of little puppies running amuck? Yikes!)

Pet showers help the new pet owners to get ready for the new arrival and are a great place to catch up with family and friends...they should read BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS: A GUIDE TO PRAYERS & CEREMONIES CELEBRATING PETS & OTHER ANIMALS...in it they would also learn that before mutt-rimony many pet owners suggest pre-nip-tual agreements--to take the bite out of things so to speak!
