Doggy Treadmill

well since Jake put a link to my site i guess i should update cuz im lazy like that, and yes i did get a virus from that program

The Doggy Treadmill
Most people know that owning a dog has some responsibilities that come along with it, the most important ones being: keep the dog fed and take the time out of your day to go on a nice walk. Knowing the US, there’s a category of people that want a dog, but don’t feel like going walking everyday. For those of you lazy people out there that fall into that category, you should do your dog a favor and get him/her the Doggy Treadmill. And yes, I think this is the most ridiculous pet gadget I’ve ever seen. Ever, I swear.

Just think, if you get yourself a real treadmill, you and your dog could exercise together. Aww, it would be a great Christmas Card. There’s no real way to force your dog to go onto the treadmill though, you could tie the leash to it, but still, eventually old Sparky will figure out how to get off (or at the very least how to stay to one side). I’d definitely be tempted to put some tasty treat just in front of the treadmill and see what happens. I’ve been making fun of this contraption high quality piece of exercise equipment, but it may have one use that seems practical, for when it rains. But dogs love rain, and there is such a thing as an umbrella.

I can’t find any pricing information, not that anyone would want to buy this because it would probably be extremely expensive, and you’re better off going outside (eek!) and getting a bit exercise (and fresh air) for you and your dog.

Seriously this is a really good idea, expecially since im living here in cold North Dakota, though the article doesnt say how much im betting its pretty expensive

Nice Expensive Toy???

January 3, 2007

Well since me and Jake excuse me Jake and I (thanks Matt) were talking about our sites and he commented that i never update here is one just for you Jake, since you are probably the only one who even KNOWS about this site

Dolphin Boat/Sub Can Jump Out of Water and Dive

This is one wild and expensive water toy. This boat can hold two people and is able to dive up to two feet under water for up to 20 seconds at a time. When the craft surfaces it can jump up to 10 feet in the air and perform tricks.

When the craft is in the air you can perform barrel rolls and the like. The current is called the Seabreacher and is 14 foot 10 inches long and weighs in at 1000 pounds. Power for the craft comes from a 175 HP Atkins marine rotary engine and you can get an optional 240 HP super charged engine that weighs in at 300 pounds.

One of the designers had this to say about aerobatic maneuvers in the Seabreacher. “It’s really just for fun. It’s a 3-D jet ski. We liken it to a monster truck. In the end we would like to turn it into a recognized sport as you can race and jump. You can do a single or double roll in the Seabreacher which is great fun though the landing is quite rough.” The craft is a one of and would cost in the neighborhood of $78,000 to build.
