Until dog do us part.
In Atlanta, Geoie Krull is the best dog dad his two 13-year-old pups could bark for. They take care of each other, Krull said, and the dogs are tuned in to his emotions. "They're both angels, and Peyton she's like an empath," Krull, said "If we're having a bad day or we feel down, this dog will literally come over and just nuzzle with you because she could sense you're having an off day."
But Peyton and Pixie, a Chihuahua-Italian mix, have belonged to Krull's wife, Kellie Coker, for much longer than the couple have known each other. Coker got the dogs almost a decade ago, and they've been by her side through a lot as well.
Divorce has been on the rise in the U.S. for decades and in recent years, around 40% of first marriages ended in divorce according to attorneys. The rate is even higher for second and third marriages. As more Americans are getting married older, when personal finances and property may be more of a concern, rates of prenuptial agreements are on the rise.
As prenuptials become more normal, many people are opting to put their pets in the agreements, since our furry companions are technically property.
That is why Peyton and Pixie have their own clause in the couple's prenuptial agreement. In the unlikely case they divorce, the pups will go with their mom, since she owned them for several years before marrying Krull.
