This one's for dog lovers

There's days when a blog writes itself. I suspect some of the more tender hearted Quantumfog readers are lookin' at this picture and gettin' all weepy eyed.

Actually, today's discourse has something to do with Motherhood, namely, diapers.

Now, before Mommies go off on a toot and visit the next website, I'll have to say that as a Dad I've changed my share of diapers. In fact, I was so repulsed by one movement, I saved it in an oversized ziploc. Figured it would come in handy for moments that require guidance and commitment to family values. The boys are now teenagers; the bag quickly ends all arguments.

But we're talking about dogs here. Todays word is Energique, which is a company in the Netherlands. The word is French for "energetic", and apparently carries a certain fashionable patois among the Netherlanders.

Dog owners love their product of the same name, particularly in downtown areas. Energique is dog food that converts 90% of content to energy. That speeds things up when you're standing around in the crisp winter air, looking at everything except your four legged stool strainer. Unlike usual foods, only 10% gets squeezed onto the sidewalk.

Which means Chihuahua owners can pretty much forget their dog even has bowel movements. Mastiff owners will still need a fork lift.

Why its best to finish with the paperwork

Any more stories and I'll have to rename this the Sphincter Gazette. Toto Limited of Tokyo has a cautionary note for our friends in Japan. In reference to their $1,000 Model Z toilet with massage spray, power dryer, deodorizing filter and automatic lid lifter. They sold 180,000 of these in country.

If ya smell something burning, do not attribute the smoke to last nights wasabi and chili pepper casserole. The toilet catches on fire.
