Has someone already developed eyeglasses for dogs???

I’m sitting here this morning trying to figure out some new and innovative "thing of wonder" that mankind may be lacking, and then thought maybe I should expand my potential market demographics.

Dogs are often our most common household companions as human beings, although if my wife had her way, it would be a baby chimpanzee in this particular household…

So my thoughts (temporarily stumped at finding something new and exciting for humans) are now swirling around the many needs of man’s best friend.

Do we ever really know if our dog has become near-sighted?? The fact that he barks at the birdbath instead of the mailman might be a clue, but it’s certainly not definitive.

If Rover doesn’t need glasses, I know for a fact that dogs can start to go deaf. How about a discreet canine hearing aid?? It could be something that works very effectively with paws, so as to allow the dog to turn it off it he or she wants to tune out their owner. Like if the owner is freaking out about the shredded pair of Docker slippers in the bedroom closet…

Having once had the unpleasant experience of briefly spotting a couple of dogs exhibiting a clear and fundamental knowledge of the birds and the bees, I can be somewhat assured that they likely don’t need another common human product, like little blue pills that some older folks may need to partake of. Often they don’t even need another dog, just a handy human leg can do just fine in a pinch.

This clearly requires much more thought, and another cup of Saturday morning coffee. I’ll walk with Sparky down to the local Starbucks, and we’ll try out his new hiking boots at the same time…

Chow for now!!
