$150 – DOG HOUSE WITH TV
XTRA LARGE DOG HOUSE WITH TV CABINET OR CAT HOUSE ABOVE AND TV INCLUDED $150.00 OR BEST OFFER
Questions. I have so many questions. That’s a pretty steep roof — where does Snoopy sleep? Is the TV so that if you don’t have a cat, you can just play an endless loop of cat videos? How many channels does the TV get? Can you get broadband internet with the cable package? Do I need to worry about my dog watching pay-per-view? How does he change the channel? Does the little girl from Poltergeist live in that TV?
Marilyn sent in this ad from a Canadian Craigslist equivalent — not Kijiji, though they have their own problems with advertising televisions. Thanks, Marilyn!
Up in the sky, a dog in a plane
Snoopy McSnooperson was his name
Eighty cats tried, and eighty cats are dead
Now they’re buried together in the flowerbed
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty channels or more
Snoopy McSnooperson was rollin’ out the score
Eighty cats died tryin’ to get cable for free
From that crazy-mad beagle, Snoopy
Our pug likes to sleep Snoopy style, so he would hate this doghouse. Aside from the questionable accessory it does look well made. I don’t see any place to store the remote, though. My main question is WHY??! does a dog need a TV over his head? I would be worried about the cord getting chewed up and whizzed on, too. Definitely a safety hazard.
Why does a dog need a tv? Because Animal Planet is his favorite show. It used to be HSN, but the humans cancelled his credit card.
My current dog goes berserk (in a “it’s the end of the world! panic panic!” way) when the test patterns air late at night/early in the morning. It’s the squeaks and beeps. The alarm clock and telephone get similar results. Actually, I think she wants to murder the phone.
All my dogs have been interested in any dogs on TV that bark or wolves that howl.
My previous dog was unique in that she was far too observant (I blame it on being half border collie) and figured out from watching us that you can change channels with the remote. She’d smash her paw against it, so not the best results, but still, clever. I miss that dog.
That’s a really nice doghouse, but why a TV? Rover probably would have been happier if Sparky had installed a can opener instead.
Rover designed it originally for an episode of Doggy Cribs.
I don’t know why people are complaining about the TV, I’d be more concerned about a cat house over it. After all, that means my dog would be living off money earned through prostitution.
Well, I do keep telling my dog that she needs to earn her keep around the house and stop freeloading…
Other combo fails:
rocking chair and deep fryer
sauna and waffle maker
hairdryer and weedeater
Snookie and _______ .
I really do wonder what possessed them to combine the two things.
“We want a watch dog but we also want to watch TV… wait, I’ve got it!”
I had high hopes for my washing machine/dishwasher combination targeted at small college apartments, but after the third round of redeposited okra residue in my boxer briefs, I had to come to terms with the harsh reality that it just wasn’t going to work.
Floor wax and dessert topping.
Gravy and library paste.
Chocolate and toilet paper.
Marshmallows and thumbtacks.
ISAAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woot! Hooray! OMG! Isaac!
Didn’t anyone notice you were back????
*falls on the floor, exhausted*
I think he snuck in when no one was looking.
*SQUEE* ISAAAAAACCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!*SQUEE*
I think I saw this place on Lifestyles of the Rich and Shaggy. There’s a wet bar in the lower half, and some really nice modern art. The tv is really a safe where Phydoux keeps his diamond collars and titanium water bowl.
Okay, let’s analize Sparky’s design. We have a television on the upper floor of a dog house, facing out. If the TV is for the dog,(We’ll call him Rover. No, I’m not going to call him Rex.) then Rover needs to be outside to watch it. So it should be a nice day out to watch TV. That’s when Rover should be out frolicking in the flowerbeds, chasing tail, or barking at the wind. If it’s cold and rainy outside, then Rover will be inside, but unable to watch TV. That is a fail.
If the TV is for Sparky, then we might reason that Sparky or his kids need to keep an eye on Rover because Rover tends to get in trouble alot. The TV is there so that someone might notice Rover. Problem is that there is a pane of glass in front of the TV so there would be a need to increase the volume quite a bit. This would drive Rover out of his home. With Sparky (or his kids) with their eyes glued to the set, would still ignore Rover. That’s another fail.
I do see a reasonable explaination for this, but I won’t go into it now because, you know, ninjas.
Obviously Sparky wanted his dog to get more exercise by watching Richard Simmons, but Rover prefurred porn and WOW — let loose the dogs of war.
This reminds me of a combination business in Yakima, WA. A video game arcade and a bicycle shop. Well, I like fishing and I like Role Playing games. So why don’t I open a combination Gamer store/tackle shop? Then I thought about Outdoorsy types mixing with Gamers and thought, no, not a good idea.
And there goes my market for my combination D20/fishing bobber.
Maybe we can combine the snark lounge with a therapy clinic.
Silly man, the Snark Lounge is a therapy clinic.
That’ll be $150, thankyouverymuch.
Does next Thursday, same time, work for you?
I thought it was half-price on S.H.I.T.
That is half price, ghostie.
*looks down nose through her readers*
I haz a expensive.
I think this is one of those “husband in the dog house” houses. He’s got his tv and wifey was even nice enough to give him a cat house upstairs for his convenience. I hope she provided him with some dollah billz and some brewskiez too.
I suspect, hubby won’t be wanting back in the big house for a while.
He gonna make it RAIN!
There’s nothing wrong with multi-classing. Get the kids out of the house by day, shelter the dog at night. It’s Teleshelter.
I keep coming back to this site hoping that “I hope the girl sees this” guy has struck again but nothing. His ads make me laugh so hard because they’re just SO ridiculous
I think he moved to Montana and bought a compound where he could wait for the girls who saw this to move in and have a bunch of kids with him.
As a representative of the feline kind may I just say that only a dog would be stupid enough to fall for this? Us cats prefer indoors TV watching, preferably from a comfy knee.

Ah, but the important question remains: NSTC or ATSC?
And is it certified as 100% gluten-free wheat?
????
Profit.
Penguin, you have the right to keep snarking, you have the right post frequently, you have the right to point and laugh at bad grammar and speeling, and you have the right to Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Yakima!
