I think a bib is the first order of business

You all know I love dogs.  I even love the Idiot Dog who’s antics graces these pages frequently.  However, even with my all time favorite dog of all time which is a toss up between my Sweet Sophie and loveable old Hugh, I would never even begin to consider this.



This, my friends, is insane.  I’d like to think it’s a joke, but there are crazy people out there with way too much money and I’m certain IKEA will sell a ton of them.

I also love the part where the guy says that dogs are basically a trial run for kids.  Hahahahahahahaaha.  If that isn’t the stupidest damn thing I’ve ever heard.  I’ve had A LOT of dogs in my life: good dogs, bad dogs, naughty dogs.  Believe me, I’ve never had a dog smart off to me about their homework, or flat out refuse to take their dirty dishes to the sink, or, in a moment of canine insanity, tell me I’m the worst doggy mommy in the whole world and they hate me. 

Not even the Idiot Dog has punched a parent in the eye over their messy bedroom. 

No canine family member of mine has shoved mushrooms up their nose or smeared rice in their armpit during dinner. 

Never has one of my fuzzy faced “children” flushed Army men down the toilet causing $1,500 in sewer repairs.

But also, my St Bernard mix, as charming as he was, never sang Queen songs in the shower.  My Newfoundland, as sweet as she was, never made me a hundred different sets of beaded earrings, bracelets and necklaces.

Hmmmmmmm.  Somedays I just don’t know which way I’m leaning.

PS.  It has come to my attention, thankfully, that this commercial was an April Fools joke from IKEA.  They’re funny people.  I’m so relieved because I was really worried that there were morons out there who’d buy this ridiculous contraption.  It seems those people are out there as IKEA has been inundated with requests.  Unbelievable.
