    I did a ride along with my buddy the cop. One of the other officers was a K-9 unit. That dog was an ass kicker by every definition of the word. Never mind it's physical abilities, which were substantial. Mentally, that dog enjoyed causing pain. Here's an example:

    While on a call, I was walking on the sidewalk buy the squad car containing the police dog. The dog remained absolutely silent until I reached the closest point as I passed by. It was at that point that the animal went absolutely ape shit. Needless to say, I jumped to the other side of the sidewalk. But here's the kicker. According to the dogs handler, the dog does that with everyone. Rookie cops included. The dog knows when someone isn't aware of his presence, and he waits to the moment your most vulnerable before unloading his loudest barking storm possible. Maybe this behavior could be attributed to training. But no, ambush isn't part of a police dogs M-O. According to the dogs handler, the dog just likes to see people freaked out and cower in fear.

    ...what a bastard. Hat's off to him.

    I agree with keeping the pups safe, which is why they should mount miniguns on top instead of one of those hair-growing laser contraptions.

    At first I was thinking about why they wouldn't just make a helmet too, but after I thought about it I realized it wouldn't make much of a difference anyways since that when the dog charges or barks it's mouth will be wide open and the helmet won't be covering much.

    @Digo: How about a full face helmet? Maybe also provide a chest plate and shin guards. I think there are a lot better systems to protect the dog

    @Ridley: No, you want the dog to be able to bite and defend itself. Anything that gets in the way of that is more harm then good.

    I'm seriously glad I don't have to bother with any litter box type device at all. We had one for a while when we first got the cat but we quickly moved it to just outside the catflap and then just did away with it completely. It came back when she had kittens of course but only quite briefly. Our cat has been fully house trained for years now though. She does her business outside and buries it so no one has to step on it.

    That's why I love cats, if they're trained to shit outside they're pretty much zero maintenance pets. All ours needs is feeding and somewhere to sleep.

    WTF is up with that Hydroglass idiocy? Just were the heck is one supposed to put it? I don't know about your house but anywhere with a drain at my place is too small. Outside? Starting to get cold out there.

    Besides, $14,500 buys a metric boatload of massages at the kind of establishment that specializes on sending you away "happy."

    Has anyone ever actually potty trained their cat? I've heard talk of it and not just in Meet the Parents but no first hand accounts. I would give an ENORMOUS(-ly mediocre) sum of money not to have to deal w/ my fiancee's cat's shit ever again or to ever have to walk over the little scattered bits of litter that the fucker somehow spreads over the entire house.

    No love for parakeets. My Parakeet R2-D2 used to love cat toys, the little mesh plastic balls with the bell inside. No one could resist watching him actually hunker down on his rump so he could jiggle the ball back and forth with both feet.
