Designer Pets

Remember when pet ownership was simple? You either had a dog or a cat. Sure there was the occasional parakeet or hamster, but for the most part it was a dog or a cat. Those dogs or cats were simple breeds which were chosen by their owners for their loyalty, disposition, and aesthetic appeal. People had German Shepperd's, Bulldogs, Labs, Rottweilers, etc. Nowadays, this simplicity seems to have disappeared. We are literally genetically altering these pets to fit our lifestyles. You think 25 years ago someone was rockin a Goldendoodle or a Labraschnauzer or whatever? We look down upon human cloning yet we have no problem mixing two different breeds of animals. Now just to set the record straight, I'm not some PETA freak that spray paints fur coats, hell Id wear a Kangaroo hat if it was nice enough. Everyday I seem to hear of people getting dogs, breeds of which never existed but yet seem to today. In the words of the great Lloyd Christmas, mixing a Shi-Tzu with a Bulldog and you get a Bullshit. If people are really on this bandwagon, then why not get something unique? Everyone has a Goldendoodle or a Labradoodle, but what about starting something new? For example, what would a cross between a Chihuahua and a Great Dane be like? Perhaps a Rottweiler and a Yorkie? now these would be cool. I haven't mentioned anything about cats for a reason. Cats suck, plain and simple. All they do is sit on top of TV's and stare at you like they will suck the life out of you if given the chance. When was the last time you saw a cat catching a Frisbee? They bring nothing to the table and frankly, I don't get it. If you need companionship that bad, hire a clown or rent a midget somewhere (you can rent midgets, Ive inquired). At least with these you can actually interact with them. Cats are stupid. If you really want to get creative, how about cross-breeding a cat with a dog? Now you're talkin! I can see it now, "Hey, what kind of dog is that?" "This, oh, this is a Pussydoodle." We would all be so popular in the dog park watching our Cat mixed with a Rottweiler running around and boasting to everyone that you're the only person with a "Rottenpussy." Now if you bring your hamster or parakeet into the mix, you would really standout when your Maltese with wings strutted by. Whatever, waiting for the next craze in designer animals is like waiting to see the next product Apple turns out. What will be next??
