Well it has been a lovely hiatus, but the time has come for me to bring back my blog. It was a busy semester and there was just no time for the pod cast, school, work and the blog. Now, I am back. And what will be the first blog of my return you ask? What passionate, life altering literary delight do I have for you? I am sad to say it is Puppy Love. I found it at Yanko design.com and have never been the same.

Have you ever suffered from the shinnies? It is when you experience something that is so bad you have to do it again. Like watching an accident, it is awful but you just cant look away. Like eating that horrible Thrills gum, it tastes like soap and yet we keep chewing. Or smelling your sneakers to make sure they are dirty…hello …they are dirty…smelling them twice to confirm just makes it dirty and weird. Well this is how I felt after seeing the Hotdoll for dogs. It was a sensation of funny meets ridiculous but dates cool on the side.

This is a love doll made for your frisky four legged Barry White friend. No music or candles required, just a simple plastic canine form with a convenient hole ( I will let you fill in the blanks) and rubber feet for traction. Designed by Clement Eloy, this doggy gadget has gotten a lot of feedback. It seems the public is as fascinated and confused by this ‘red light district’ doggy treat as I am. On one hand animals are , well, basic…and it would be nice to give them a substitute for the teddy bear found on the floor or better yet, your leg. They have needs too right?( Although I think we could do without the graphics provided on the site). On the other hand I don’t relish the idea of listening to my little cuddles doing the nasty to his new favorite toy. It is a bit of a dilemma.

Some have been arguing that people that buy this are lazy and it is a substitute for fixing your little furry friend. Well that is just ridiculous, some male dogs still do the nasty from time to time even after being neutered, it is basic animal nature. They just don’t have the same results…. And think of all those dogs that are studs….what are they supposed to do in between their dates?

While I personally could not buy one of these soft porn pet paraphernalia (my puppies are of the female persuasion) I do endorse those who love their pet enough to give them the gift of love, in the literal sense of the word. I wonder if it squeeks…..
