  • I...buh...guh...WHAT? OMGWTF.
  • Strollers for dogs? Bah! Strollers for cats is where it's ats.
  • Billions of blistering blue barnacles! Teh noob beat me to it. Welcome aboard, Capn!
  • Mr. Whiskers would scratch my eyes out if I tried to dress him in a turtleneck sweater!
  • If there's one thing dogs hate, it's walking.
  • Fashionably dystopic.
  • I have seen two of these in real life...
  • Most expensive doggie bag eva?
  • I thought dogs were supposed to, like...walk...um, outside in the....outside...?
  • Now not only do I have to dodge unruly dogs and kids in strollers while out jogging, I'm going to have to dodge dogs in enormous sidewalk-blocking strollers too. I have seen one or two of these here in Toronto, but then again this is a city with a dog bakery so I suppose it's to be expected.
  • Poseur dogs.
  • Arf!
  • Now, a dog bakery makes a certain amount of sense. Dogs LIKE to eat cookies and people like to think they're spoiling their dogs... so, it seems like a natural to me. But, a dog stroller? That goes against many, many dog fundamentals. Too many to count, really.

  • But does a dog bakery make sense?
  • Oh, man, so that is what I saw when I was out taking Baby Fimbulvetr for a walk in his stroller today. I saw a lady walk by with her dog in one of those, and thought to myself "what kinda nutter takes their dog for a walk in a baby stroller?!?!" Now that I know it was actually a purpose-built dog stroller, it seems even more insane. Ottawa has a pet bakery and cafe as well. It weirds me out. Dogs eat whatever nasty dead things they can find. Why the heck would you spend good money on luxury baked goods for a species of animal that will eat its own (or the cats') shit? Just sayin'.
  • I have looked into a cat stroller before, but it was for a disabled cat. Don't look down your nose at the dog strollers unless you're sure it's not some old dog with hip dysplasia that still likes to get out and see the world.
  • Or maybe they had one too many and are being taken home by their designated driver. Tried it yet, Ralph?
  • *thinks about renting Strange Brew tonight*
