Usually the way it works is I make fun of a pet product, and then sometime in the future I end up buying it.  That’s the way it worked with the Doggy Steps anyway. I don’t see it happening here though.

So wandering through the local pet store today I stumble on the above product.  I can see the fact that you really don’t want your dog using the house as his personal commode. I get that, but after spending a few years cleaning baby bottoms I personally retired from wiping anyone’s behind but my own.

The thing is though they would not be manufacturing these if someone was not buying them.

I just don’t want to be the guy changing an angry pit bull’s diaper.

So,  should I go with the Wee Wees or the Flashy Pants?

Saw this today in a national drug store chain.

Just a shame someone took the time to print it out without checking spelling.

Recently my brother Walt and I were having a conversation about offices. If you have ever worked in an office setting  you know there is such a thing as office envy.  It usually consists of a few things to be jealous of.  Size, window, corner and view. It was discovered during this call that Walt had three corner offices, in two states and they all had windows. It was at this time that I began to call him Three Corner Walt.  I personally am not a victim of office envy. I have a corner office in the house with a window. I often have a big white dog under my antique walnut executive bankers desk that I purchased on Ebay for a $1. I also like my view as pictured above. When I was looking at it I noticed the cemetery in the background and it reminded me that no matter how nice an office you have in life, we will all end up in the same place, so I wouldn’t worry so much about your current position. The other reason I exhibit no office envy toward Three Corner is I’m pretty sure he has to wear pants in his office.

Why had I not heard of this? Maybe it’s because I don’t listen to the radio (Ipod now) or ignore TV commercials as a rule.

Pepsi Cola has come out with two throwback flavors. What makes it a throwback? They are actually using real sugar. No that doesn’t sound like a big deal except the majority of soda for decades in the US has been made with high fructose corn syrup.  I found an interesting link here.

Now I don’t want to get to deep into the debate of the healthiness of  high fructose corn syrup but it sure seems like I hear a lot more about diabetes today then when I was a kid.

When I was peddling pop for a living I would see people buy the imported Mexican variety and could never figure out why. When asked they always told me because it had real sugar. I didn’t think there was a difference.

I did not know that Pepsi had these flavors out or what they were until a nice Pepsi employee mentioned it to me. A local grocery store had 20 oz bottles for 79 cents so I figured what the heck and bought 4 Pepsis even though I am generally a Coke man when it comes to cola. Maybe it was 20 plus years of not having real sugar in soda but the difference to me was huge. I am now thinking of buying in bulk and hope that they change their mind and it does not go away. I would even be willing to pay a premium.

After a little investigation I think I am in favor of more sugar and less sweetener in everything  actually.

I love that my blackberry takes such nice pictures. They say the best camera is the one you have with you.

Here is Cous Cous stalking me on Mother’s day at Mammie’s house.
