Love me, love my pet, dating website urges

[janbo1960]

There is now a website where you can find a partner compatible with your pet dog, cat, snake or spider.

A new Dutch website says it is a meeting place for all animal lovers, whether you are looking for a partner, someone who also likes snakes and spiders or someone who takes care of your chickens when you want to go away for the weekend.

"How can you find a nice partner who is just as crazy about animals as you are?" Betty Mercey said, who is launching the dating site this weekend called "Animal and Human".

Members of the site can describe themselves and their pets and when they think they have found someone who also likes their pets, they can contact each other through the website.

"I've heard from friends who have pets that it is difficult to find a partner. Specifically if you have more than one pet," Ms Mercey said, who owns 13 dogs and four cats with her partner.

That's actually a great idea. Anyone that has 13 dogs and four cats needs a site like that so they can find another lunatic just like themselves that don't mind smelling like shat

My husband and I actually met because of our dogs -- kinda like the movie "Dog Park", I guess. But it certainly helps to have a partner who (1) loves animals and (2) isn't allergic to them either!

I know 2 women who gave their cats away because their boyfriends were allergic to the poor kitties.

I can see how this would work to a certain extent. And to be fair, pets are like children to some and not that easy to just get rid of because someone new comes into the picture.
