The Doggie Treadmill

If you thought that the bicycle treadmill featured a while back on Thoughts from the Sidelines was odd, what about a treadmill especially designed for dogs.

Now perhaps I’m under a misapprehension here – and do excuse me if I’m being particularly dense (it’s in my nature) – but as I understood it one of the great benefits of owing a dog was that it got you exercising and walking out and about in the fresh highly polluted air: otherwise you might as well get a goldfish. But this device would appear to indicate that I am wrong and that the main reason for owning a dog is to strap it to a treadmill and then slump back on the sofa to watch yet another TV reality show.

Some would, of course, argue that whilst they own a dog they have so little time so this contraption is an alternative to the dog otherwise not getting any exercise whatsoever. If that is the case then I respectfully suggest that perhaps you should consider something like this as your next pet (okay, so it’s a cat – and you probably couldn’t be bothered to even put the batteries in, could you).

More information concerning this device, which will set you back $123.00, can be obtained via the product page linked here (sorry, forgive me, but I fought the urge to link there…and lost).
