Dogs

A few weeks ago I was a production assitant for a guy taping a show for the local cable access network. The show was called Pet Trends. It was basically about new pet products with an emphasis on dogs. For the show we went to the Pet Industry Trade Show at the Rosemont Hotel. It was super. $400 pet beds, $700 sweaters for shih-tzus, automatic dog washers. One guy was trying to push artificial turf that could collect urine in an easily disposable tube. When he saw the TV camera he grabbed a tiny dachsund that shivered when standing and tried to force him to urinate by shouting "Come on! You can do it! Just pee a little bit!"



One booth was entirely dedicated to Jewish pet toys. If you gave the company owner a few bucks, he'd take your dog behind the curtain and perform a bris.



Thank god this wasn't a lamb.



I don't. . . what the fuck.



I really don't think Ozzy Osborne would endorse Cat Attract. But notice the animal print pants he's wearing. They seem to be from a member of the cat family.
