Barbie's Dog is Full of It

[This article was in the London Metro in today's paper] With his chiselled looks and nippy little sports car, we always suspected Ken might be full of it – but now Barbie has gone and got herself a dog that's gone the same way too. The latest Barbie accessory is her pet dog, called Tanner, which not only looks like a loveable labrador but also poops like one too. Almost a soon as Barbie has fed the dog its biscuit treats, a little something comes out the other end. But, in a move designed to encourage responsible dog ownership, toy manufacturer Mattel has provided Barbie with a pooper scooper and bin too, meaning Tanner never has to leave any unwanted 'gifts' lying about on the carpet. Tanner also comes equipped with dog toys, a bone, biscuit treats, a feeding bowl and a pink lead. And, just in case that does not get the message across, Mattel has produced a promotional video of Barbie and Tanner playing in the park that shows you how to 'potty train' your dog. So while Barbie may have seemed like the girl who had everything – including great clothes, cool cars, fabulous horses and no end of accessories – now we know what she was missing.

I'm not sure what I think of that movie. It was a little gross watching the doggy poop.

THat is a little crazy. Why isn't picking up dog pooh that easy and fun in real life. There is never a cool song in the back ground for starters...

Coo-coo crazy is all I have to say!

Over and out.
