So the ringbearer in our wedding was supposed to be one of the groomsmans' sons. We asked them right away ya know, and they said they would let us know for sure but they were pretty sure it would be fine. Then recently they called and said, 'well we kinda want to party, drink, and let loose so we arent bringing the kids.....' 
So of course I panic a bit (the wedding is 9/10/11) I feel like its pretty immature of them, but I'm not mad or anything. So then here I am wondering what we should do about the ringbearer ordeal and it hit me!
Now we are using our little dog Taylor 
So it worked out!! Im sooo excited! (and FI said yes!)
