what next??

Nearly 40% of households in the US have at least one dog. People get a dog for a variety of reasons; to get more exercise is in the top three. I think that's a good thing since a recent Gallup study revealed that only 48% of Americans exercise regularly (at least three times per week) and that's UP from previous years.

Imagine my surprise disbelief dismay when I found this product advertised in the SkyMall Magazine recently.

What is it, you ask? It's a Go-Go Dog Pal, a remote controlled, 4WD toy "creature" for your dog to chase. It retails on their website for just $229.99 or you can save 99 cents and order it from SkyMall Magazine. According to the Go-Go Dog Pal website, you can "take a rest while your dog exercises."

Just how lazy are we that we can't walk our dog or throw a ball for them to fetch? They say that a dog is man's best friend. That may be - but man isn't always a dog's best friend!
