Product Wish List . . .

We have fluorescent fish.

We have fluorescent mice.

But what I would really love to have is fluorescent dog poop. No joke. If someone comes up with a dog food or supplement that turns my doggie's poop bright pink or day-glo-orange, or some other unnatural color, I would be their first customer and evangelist. I'd start a Facebook group. I'd Twitter. I'd even talk about poop in polite company (aka "word of mouth").

Let me explain. I walk my dog daily at my local park. And being the responsible dog owner that I am, I carry baggies and always pick up after he does his business. But given that dirt is brown, fallen leaves are brown, sticks are brown, fallen bark is brown, it's often very difficult to spot the target. Often I find myself staring blankly at the earth around me, unable to do the right thing, simply because the poop blended into the background of the fallen debris. If however, it were a nice contrasting color, this problem would be solved.

Purina? IAMs? NutraMax? Are you listening?

  1. And if everyone else had this, then even if they didn't pick up after their dogs, I would end up stepping in it!!!
