twenty-something

Not a day goes by that I don't dream about owning a dog. Maybe a Golden Retreiver, maybe a Chocolate Lab. I want to name him Ollie or, maybe if he's one of my family dog Ben's puppies, Jerry. Ah, dreams...

Today I surfed upon something more realistic for my irresponsible self: iDog, Sega Toy's mini robot pet inspired by the iPod.

Isn't he cute? Basically, for $40, you get an iPod-with-legs that plays music and does robo-doggie tricks. For example:

Seven LEDs on the face express emotion, while an audio jack under the right hind leg let's you plug in your iPod (or other audio player) to broadcast through iDog's speaker. Or, you can choose to play one of the 70 built-in melodies.

Oh, yes. Another useless toy I want to own. It can live in a box with my Gizmo Furby from five years ago.
