Pre-Wedding Jilts & Jitters

The wedding day hasn't yet arrived, and already relationships have ended and new ones begun.

The First Couple of I Do, Doggone It!--Hudson and Mr. Big--have reportedly split after Hudson found another mate. Mr. Big was cast adrift for only a short while. Within a day of learning his fate, on Thursday we received word that Boswell, featured in this space on Monday along with Yogi, has re-injured his leg and had to back out of the wedding.

We have tentatively arranged for Mr. Big, all four pounds of him, to pair up with Yogi, tipping the scales at 130. In our book, they are the Second First Couple of I Do, Doggone It!

As if this development were not controversial enough, there's this piece by Pioneer Press scribe John Huston, tying in the hot-button issue of same-sex marriage for human beings.

Stay tuned as the soap opera continues, including our invitation to the Obama girls to adopt a puppy from the Animal Care League, the event's beneficiary.

An Exciting IDDI Development

I Do, Doggone It! has captured the imagination of not only local dog owners and media, but also Guinness World Records itself.

Last week, a GWR representative from New York contacted Downtown Oak Park officials with a variety of incentives if DTOP moved the mass dog wedding date from Saturday, Oct. 4 to the next month, in order to have it occur closer to Guinness World Records Day, which is Nov. 13th.

DTOP officials have agreed to the invitation and are currently firming up the details, including a specific date. Keep coming to http://www.dogwedding.info/ for more details, which should be available in the next several days.
