Okay, I admit it. Pritchard is getting a Christmas gift. (A Nylabone.) This is a first for me. I’ve never given a dog a gift. But according to an Associated Press poll, 52 percent of pet owners will give their dogs a gift, up 43 percent from last year. Hey, at least I’m trendy.

Would she rather a steak? Yes. But I know she wouldn’t want any part a product that recently came across the Man’s Best Friend Desk. It’s called the PABS (Pet Anti Breeding System), and it’s described as “the first chastity belt for pets.” I’m not making this stuff up, folks.

The device, which looks fairly midevil, consists of straps, buckles, and a mesh pad that covers the goodies. As the inventor of this product, Dexter Blanch, says, “Stop it. Block it. Lock it.” For more of Blanch check out the video. Word is there’s a demand for a PABS designed for camels.

Don’t know about you but I’m sticking with the Nylabone. Friends, here’s hoping you and your pup have a Merry Christmas and a happy, safe holiday.

All these recent stories and posts have had me laughing to tears. He has the "mentality of a dog. He sniffs ...." O-kay. And something tells me his tests with cats didn't go so well. I'll stick to just owning male dogs, thank you.

Merry Christmas to you, Pritchard, and your family.

Wow. My wife just graduated college with a BA in TV broadcasting, and I've watched her edit lots and lots of footage for air. I'd be laughing hysterically if the editing and production quality weren't so bad. The guy's a hoot though. Thanks for posting, and to snag a phrase from another poster, have a cool yule.

The guy's a riot, if not a genius. A sure candidate for Letterman's "Stupid Pet Tricks", or rather "Stupid Pet NO-Tricks".

Had to laugh at the comment"responsible pet owners".Do responsible pet owners who intend to have a puppy let there dogs roam free?
But then again if the neighbor stakes out his grand national champion it could happen.
Merry Christmas everybody-The Ewing's
