Dogs on treadmills. Dogs wearing diapers. Dogs watching TV. Dogs depressed about Sept. 11. Dogs on dates. No point really, there just seems to be lots of cool dogs out there doing human stuff. Rock on, dogs!

Dogs on Treadmills - Does the ASPCA or PETA know about this? It sure seems like torture to me.

Dogs Wearing Diapers - Please watch the demonstration video, freakin' hilarious.

Dogs Watching TV - Well, don't put your face right up to your dog's face and growl dumbass!

Dogs Depressed About Sept. 11 - Animals always react to their owners moods.

Dogs on Dates - Pimpin' yer pet. Yeah, that's cool.

You're right, bob, that is pretty funny. Then I got to thinking....That Poor Dog! I don't think the diaper is uncomfortable, but the dog looks really confused that he/she just relieved itself and there's nothing to show for it. What if she/he is trying to mark territory? The dog just keeps trying, and it looks like the dog is suffering from either constipation or consternation.

I've been using a treadmill to train my pitbulls for dogfights for years. Actually, I believe the practice has been in existence since the middle ages when bulls were originally pitted against bears in the town square. It's a shame that historical records of such unique inventions get white-washed in revisionist history. I've actually seen a medieval wood-cutting of such a contraption being employed to train both dogs and wild boar.

If anyone has a picture, please post.

Man, are you kidding? I have a Dalmatian at home and dream of getting her on a treadmill to work out some of that energy!

Kafkaesque: What? You don't train your dogs to fight other dogs and wild animals to death or dismemberment, like normal people do?
