anything pets+recording is money in the bank

Just to give it a different spin there is a guy who creates actual cd's or recordings that he says are appealing to dogs to hear. Check out this NPR story:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=4530776

In theory what he does is put some New-Agey music or electronica beats with words of gentle praise that appeal to dogs like "you're lovely a pup" or repeated use of the word "scratch my back woof, woof" seriously funny stuff to us but apparently dogs dig it...

i've actually heard about a satelite station that makes programming for pets left at home (dogs and cats). you leave it on when you go, and they don't freak out and pee on the rug; presumably. i guess if the jingle cats thing works (and it has, i've heard a meowing silent night amongst other songs). who buys those albums though???!!!

don't forget the spending power of lonely, middle-aged women and effeminate metrosexuals:


There's a whole industry out there catering to such crappy taste. I've seen at Petco cd racks of stuff like this *cough* when I was in there buying stuff for our dog.
