January 8, 2009 at 10:24 amI have been voting!! But anyway, My dog would love the tooth brush thingy. Especially if it tasted of chicken.
Little Miss Sunshine State says
January 8, 2009 at 10:38 amThe Spaceship Kitty Litter Box made me laugh. If I put that in the bathroom my cat would start pooping in the bathtub.
He is not happy that his litter box is under the coiunter where you would narmally put the clothes hamper.
Auds says
January 8, 2009 at 10:41 amVoted!!
I learned once, it ONLY took once, to leave the doggy dentistry to my vet. OUCH.
And should I be embarrassed that we have almost that same exact kitty litter box? *lol*
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
January 8, 2009 at 10:55 amThat was one of the quickest trips to Absurd I’ve ever taken, and believe me, I’ve taken a lot.
I have an hour-long commute to Absurd most weekdays, for what is fondly known as my “paying job.”
Lizzy says
January 8, 2009 at 11:04 amWho is this Comics Curmudgeon and how many people did he brainwash to be this far ahead? He doesn’t even use photoshop; he CAN’T be that cool.
Lizzy says
January 8, 2009 at 11:05 amand by the way, is that kitty in the newest space shuttle? Is it NASA approved?
janet says
January 8, 2009 at 11:12 amIf everybody can vote every day, don’t we have the final resutls on the first day? Or on the second at the latest? I’m voting every day for you, Bossy, but the whole thing is just a sham. Try not to pay attention to it.
This post should be called Drive-Thru Bossy: The Pet Version!
Julie says
January 8, 2009 at 11:13 amOh yes, I have sewed diaper covers for sister-in-law’s tiny yappy dogs. She uses Kotex on the inside. They have a changing station in a corner of their living room.
Cheri @ Blog This Mom! says
January 8, 2009 at 11:21 amI actually saw one of those pet strollers in person. They really exist.
I was not programmed to understand this sort of thing.
Diane says
January 8, 2009 at 11:26 amI will go you one better. I have seen a pet stroller in use. I was unable to control my laughter.
David says
January 8, 2009 at 11:38 amDog panties are HOT!
furiousball says
January 8, 2009 at 11:39 ami would never do this to my dog, because he’d kill me
Debby says
January 8, 2009 at 11:44 amWe got an electronic litter sifter once and the cats were afraid of it. They pooped on the floor. It went back.
Now, the auto feeder? That rocks. They hear the food drop and run. Kind of like bats out of hell. Hilarious!
Waiting for my 24 hour clock to expire so I can vote again!
Laura says
January 8, 2009 at 11:48 amThere is a woman in my neighborhood that walks her dog around in a stroller, but I think it is just a regular baby stroller.
tuesday says
January 8, 2009 at 11:52 ambrushing my dog’s teeth would backfire because I would barf in her mouth.
gross.
jen says
January 8, 2009 at 11:55 amI actually own several “Hunter Green Pet Bloomers.”
For myself.
They’re a lot cheaper than Kotex and MUCH more comfortable than my leopard print Depends.
MidLifeMama says
January 8, 2009 at 12:14 pmI have always thought that rain coats for dogs should cover the undercarriage, not the top. They get REALLY dirty underneath. I am voting!!
Cat says
January 8, 2009 at 12:17 pmI don’t care for this Comic Curmudgeon. He’s much too curmudgeony.
Momo Fali says
January 8, 2009 at 1:09 pmOhhhh! Thanks, Little Miss Sunshine State! It’s a litter box. Huh. I thought it was some kind of space-age vacuum that removes pet hair. Which is actually not a bad idea.
Philly says
January 8, 2009 at 1:12 pmI love the dog in the stroller,,,,looks like my baby !

MariaV says
January 8, 2009 at 1:24 pmWe used to use the dog bloomers on our GreaT Dane Venus.
Joyce says
January 8, 2009 at 1:33 pmYou want absurd, check this out:

Simply, too much for words! Who comes up with stuff like that? Seriously?
Karen (submommy) says
January 8, 2009 at 1:39 pmI see the whole doggy stroller BS at my local mall. Of COURSE at the mall. Of course.
Domestic Goddess (in training) says
January 8, 2009 at 2:05 pmHere’s something I don’t get… not that its pet related… but product related or just unrelated maybe. I bought Hanes socks and they come in a re-sealable plastic bag. Do people put their socks back into the bag they bought it in? Do we need to keep them super fresh like my shredded cheddar? I don’t get it.
The Domestic Goddess says
January 8, 2009 at 2:06 pmYet another reason I only adopt spayed-mixed breed dogs. Doggie Maxipads.
lizski says
January 8, 2009 at 2:09 pmI always wanted a dog small enough that I could carry around (more to relocate when s/he was eating the couch, not so much ala Paris Hilton), but I never even THOUGHT about pushing one around in a stroller….
lee the MWOB Queen says
January 8, 2009 at 2:14 pmThese pictures scare me. And yes I am still voting although this adding this voting to my to do list is making my laundry wait just that much longer. So thanks! 🙂
Reeb says
January 8, 2009 at 2:20 pmDog Raincoat:
Of course it says it’s a “Seattle Slicker” which is the nearest city to me. And trust me, these last several mega-rainy days (unlike most, which are just drizzle) I myself have slapped a raincoat on my dog. Of course hers is a cut-down $1.59 rain poncho with a long strip of elastic tied around her middle to hold it on. Not as classy, but far more Poverty Potential. On the other hand, I will admit that last fall I bought a brimmed HAT for this dog, as she would hardly walk in the rain when it fell on her face. Looks dopey, like she has a fawning mom. But it’s really just functional. Only used on walks. Really.
Comics Curmudgeon:
This is an unfair competition, because he should be in the Best Blog for Dweebs category not best humor.
Ms. Cranky Pants says
January 8, 2009 at 2:37 pmSomething’s not right here. I’ll bet Comics Curmudgeon is some borderline genius/psycho programmer who’s hacked code to get twenty votes for every one given to the other sites. I mean, how can this guy get THAT far ahead of the pack in such a short amount of time. no no no no no no, simply not possible in the real world. i call for an inquest.
Bossy, you are geniuinely, consistently awesome. Period.
JenKneeBee says
January 8, 2009 at 3:13 pmI almost died of laughter when I saw the doggie diapers. Environmentally friendly! Bwhahahaha!
sherry says
January 8, 2009 at 4:49 pmBossy, totally off topic, but have you signed up for an opportunity to be a guest at the inauguration? You can submit your name for consideration here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/stateupdates/gGxbcg
Manic Mommy says
January 8, 2009 at 4:59 pmThe hygienist at my dentist recently told me she brushes both of her cats’ teeth, morning and night, every day.
Straw says
January 8, 2009 at 5:03 pmGreetings!
Unfortunately this whole Weblog awards brouhaha boils down to two things: who has the most followers and how devoted they are. While it helps a great deal if you have tons of people that visit and enjoy your blog, it could be that many of them don’t take the time to go vote, or they only vote once or twice and then stop. Comics Curmugeon just happens to have a big following that is very dedicated to voting. Ditto Cake Wrecks – have you seen how far ahead of the pack they are in the food category? Mercy!
Confession: Josh (the CC) is very, very funny and I am a huge fan of that site. Cake Wrecks, too!
Caveat to confession: I am tewtally voting for Bossy. Josh has enough voters, he doesn’t need me.
clickmom says
January 8, 2009 at 5:03 pmI totally thought you were going to post about brushing your dog’s teeth and I was going to advice you to give your dog lots of greenies, even though not only are they the crack of dogdom but greenies, when liberally distributed, will also make your dog fatten up in record Hansel and Gretel speed, … uh, … sorry …. I forgot where I was going with this.
jen says
January 8, 2009 at 6:17 pmOk, did y’all check out #22’s link?
OH MY SWEET CHRIST.
Mr Farty says
January 8, 2009 at 6:46 pmDo NOT check out #22’s link. Ew! I’d forgotten about that book.
Where was I? Right. I thought only the Curmudgeon cooked cats. That _is_ an oven, right?
Of course I voted. For someone. *cough Bloggess*
Eliza says
January 8, 2009 at 8:25 pmWe received the same pet supplies catalog in the mail the other day. And felt the exact same way.
julie says
January 8, 2009 at 8:42 pmWill vote as soon as the 24 hour period is up. Stupid thing.
Also, out of curiousity I read about 5 pages of the CC site and barely cracked a smile. Creative, I guess, but not my bag. This? hilarious.
Finally: I have some sort of mental block on typing in your URL and always type iamboxxy.com. I think it’s the new “dooce/dude” thing.
Just Jamie says
January 8, 2009 at 8:46 pmJust saw the dog stroller in action while … wine tasting. Because just before you sip your fine red, you need to pull a piece of fur from between your teeth.
Still worse, the dog bjorn. Oh yeah.
Just Me says
January 8, 2009 at 8:59 pmI’ve been reading bossy for a while now, but I rarely comment. Congratulations on your nomination, I think it’s well deserved. But I have to say I can’t stand all the begging for votes going on these days. I voted once, and won’t be voting again. For anyone. This year, or years to come. Winning something by artificially boosting numbers is not winning. And I know all the other nominees are playing the same game, but it still stinks.
But congrats, and good luck.
milo says
January 8, 2009 at 9:17 pmI have been voting for you. I don’t get the Comic Curmudgeon. At all. I don’t know, I tried but it wasn’t funny to me. Maybe it’s a cultural thing? Maybe because I’m not American? ‘Cause I don’t care for comics? ‘Cause I’m dumb?
Anyway, you do crack me up, every time.
Baby Favorite says
January 8, 2009 at 9:38 pmHate to admit this, but my dog HAS those bloomers. And boy, is it fun to get them on her! FUN, I tell you.
Baby Favorite says
January 8, 2009 at 9:39 pmOh, and two more things: That could BE my dog, wearing those diapers.
Also? I brush her teeth daily.
Yes, I do have a full-time job and two kids, as well. Sick, I know.
DebbyABQ says
January 8, 2009 at 9:43 pmI got the same catalog last week. Am embarrassed to say that I looked through the whole thing!!! Then it went into the recycle pile. I voted for you!! I love Bossy!!
Michele says
January 8, 2009 at 9:44 pmI voted today. I tried to vote the last 3 days, but I couldn’t on my I-phone. They need I-phone voting!
JO says
January 8, 2009 at 10:13 pmMy dog does have a yellow slicker for rainy walks….bought for her by my husband, who won’t even use an umbrella let alone a rain coat. Go figure.
Gretchen says
January 8, 2009 at 10:14 pmHold on! I have a kitty that wears Huggies. (I cut a tail hole, put it on backwards and change it once a day) And I really am pretty normal. (What would you have me do, euthanize a perfectly fine, sweet kitten who just can’t happen to feel his tail end?) He is 5 and doing great. If I had lots of money I probably would try some of these products. Don’t think the normal cats I have would go for the space ship. My dogs might like a rain coat tho – and it would stop the wet dog odor from coming inside with them. This is how I treat my pets. I have almost grown kids who survived me too. Am I crazy? Excessive? Compassionate?
Carole says
January 8, 2009 at 10:36 pmI HAVE that exact stroller, except I use it for my CAT. In fact, I was so excited about getting it and taking my cat for a walk I blogged about it and took photos and everything.
I can’t believe you people don’t realize a cat stroller is the coolest thing EVAH.
Christina In The Middle says
January 8, 2009 at 10:57 pmThat litter box looks like it might accidentally suck the cat into the back and launch it into space.
And I had to check out the Comics Curmudgeon to see why someone would get so many votes. I still have no idea. Not funny. Bossy = funny.
Catherine McP says
January 8, 2009 at 11:26 pmYes Bossy=funny..I havent even read your blog as long as probably all these other great people, and I WAY voted for you on 2 computers a day! You are a frickin hoot, I LOVE your humor and blog. Yea rah Bossy readers!
Catherine McP says
January 8, 2009 at 11:27 pmOH and of course..yea rah Bossy!
kate says
January 9, 2009 at 1:01 ami just voted again. also? i found out that if you delete your cookies you can vote again sooner than 24 hours later. you know, if it’s going to be crooked, may as well be all the way crooked. just saying…
Cactus Petunia says
January 9, 2009 at 1:31 amI gotta check that shit out. I just paid $200 yesterday to have my cat’s teeth cleaned (they had to pull two) and 6 weeks ago one of the other cats cost me another $250 for dental work…and yes, my dogs have raingear, but I swear we only use it when it’s below 30 degrees out! (They do look spiffy in them, though. You can see a picture here: http://dietaryindiscretions.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-post.html)
nancypants says
January 9, 2009 at 1:36 amMan… my dog is always chewing on his paws. I need that spray stuff. LOL
What no front carrier for chihuahuas?
You know which dog food commercial drives me nuts? The Pedigree ones that basically just show a dog scarfing down a bunch of their food. I mean… what does that commercial prove? Nothing. That’s what. I had a dog once that ate its own feces with the exact same amount of gusto. Dogs aren’t usually the pickiest creatures (I mean, half of them eat out of the trash if they get half a chance.) I seriously hate that commercial. Okay, rant over.
Beta Mom says
January 9, 2009 at 8:05 amBeta Mom: Honey, have you seen the roomba?
Beta Dad: Nope.
Beta Mom: Honey, have you seen the cat?
Beta Dad: Nope.
Jeri says
January 9, 2009 at 11:03 amBossy, your stats are down this morning…… rally the troops! People, get out there and vote!
Yes We Can!
Kerri Anne says
January 10, 2009 at 5:10 amWe have seen those doggy diapers up close and personal! And we nearly fell over laughing. And then almost bought them, of course, but figured we would then also have to buy Iggy some therapy which would of course be too expensive and he would end up resenting us for ruining his life and never letting him play Nintendo.
So Not Mom-a-licious says
January 10, 2009 at 12:17 pmHi Bossy! New to your blog and wanted to let you know I am plesantly pleased. Thought I would peruse through some of your recent posts and thanks for the laughs. This post however…priceless. I’ll stay tuned for more!
meleah rebeccah says
January 10, 2009 at 2:30 pmWhat The….
Yeah. I cant even imagine why anyone would use any of these products. But whats really scary? The people who INVENTED these products are MAKING A LOT OF MONEY
