Oh the canine humanity

SOME DAY IN THE NEAR FUTURE, A LOVING AND LOYAL DOG WILL KILL ITS OWNER, AND EVERYONE WILL WONDER WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED

What happened was, the dog suddenly realized that it was being forced to carry around its own poop.

What's this all about?

Poopsadaisy for dogs: This fashion-crafted pack slips easily on and off over your dog's collar before and after walks. The PoopsadaisyÂ’s patented two-pocket design safely holds the dog's 'business' and is designed to carry essential dog waste bags to pick up the load! Special features include dog bone closure and fire hydrant. Made of 100% nylon. Washable and durable. Available in red or blue.

I often see people making their dogs wearridiculoussscarvess. Sometimes I suppose I can understand boots or a little sweater for small, easily chilled dogs in cold weather, but this isridiculouss. If you can walk the dog, you can clean up after it and carry a small, opaque baggy around for a bit. And a "dog bone closure" is on the thing???

That's really nice. "Here, Spot. Here's a nice bone for you. But instead of giving it to you to eat, I'll zip it up in this pouch and tie it around your neck where you can smell it only inches away but not get to it."

Looks like a dog bites man story in the making, if you ask me. Which of course you haven't. But I'm the one writing the blog this week (along with others) and you're not, so you're pretty well stuck with it anyway.

But I digress. Of course, we're actually here today to talk about Andy Rooney. Isn't it about time that this old fossil got himself a metal detector and retired to a nice beach someplace? Don't get me wrong. I used to love Rooney's writing. I even purchased several of his books. His homespun wisdom and humor was often a nice break from thebrouhahaa of politics and international events. But come on, already, CBS. He's getting a bit long in the tooth and his recent columns are getting less coherent than Larry King.

Give it a rest, already.
