Question

Is Zoey Part of the Wedding Celebration?

Answer

I totally love Jon for even bringing her up in the thought of joining in on our celebration. For those who know me, I would have loved this for any other time/event, just not for this one. My focus and attention would be on her the whole entire time. Our venue recommended using a company called Fureveralways which I would totally recommend to those who are thinking of using any their fur babies in the future. I just could not bring myself in saying yes, even though there would be someone to be there, train her, and make sure everything went well and smoothly.
