I don't think either of them would be into them.

not even their stuffing??!

What stuffing? Their dogs ate the turkey. And if they did have the plan to have their dogs steal their turkey, I don't see much of a relationship going on after that.

The old man hated the Bumpus dogs, it would never have worked out.

If you read the short story, Shepherd gets into much greater detail about the Bumpuses. In fact, one of their daughters named Cassie came home from a reform type school and was built like a goddess. She kissed her old man in a way that was not normal. The rest of the Bumpus women were described as homely. Not kidding, the story is hilarious.

So if it was the Old Man, it would have been with the daughter Cassie.
