Many a mind has been agitated with the
long standing issue of how to prevent the
inevitable grounding of fat long dogs. I
believe Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
(1844-1900) was permanently vexed with
the issue and died just days after
proposing dog stilts as a solution.
As readers will know,
I'm just a humble
free thinker, but I propose the dogboard
solution to this age old issue. A small
wooden platform, equipped in each corner
with a caster is the primary plan. With a
tape measure, accurately assess the
distance between front legs and paunch
and cut pieces of string of the same
length. Attach the same strings to the
dog's front legs and to the dogboard and
you've got your elf a solution.
For longer dogs, build a longer platform.
skateboarding is good exercise...

Don't know if this would work for dogs [Klaatu, May 19 2008]

You could try feeding 'em less, but on balance I prefer this solution. |

"I believe Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche..."
I'm pretty sure that was Henrik Ibsen you're thinking of. Don't forget to articulate it for better cornering. |
|
| |
I thought he articulated it pretty well. |
|

Oh, [jonthegeologist] will bend over backwards to help a canine. |

I could swear that I've seen someting similar to this in an old cartoon. A super long dachshund comes running around a corner and there is a roller skate straped to it's middle. Possibly Looney Tunes or Merrry Melodies. |

It's at times like this that I'm not sure
whether I miss the 'Bakery or not |

My wife despairs of me ... |

Hi Hazel! Did you miss us? |

I thought this might be a new
controversial and legally-grey torture
technique used by the US government at
Guantanaamo Bay involving stuffing
peoples mouths with puppies so they can't
breathe. |

(That's OK - no idea is complete without at least one pedantic spelling or grammar correction.) |

Aha, I thought that this would be a must-have breed-cum-accessory for your top-snazz spats-sporting silk-scarved Prohibition gangster playboy: a shiny coated pooch to loll draft-excludingly along your town-car's running boards, the dog's pink tognue flapping placidly in the breeze as you hare around Harlem corners on two wheels, your tommy gun blazing. |

Still, croissant, cos (inter alia) "fat long dogs" is fun to say. |

An encasement for the dog might work to keep the sag from reaching the ground. The encasement could easily be made from of short section of a cow intestine to span from the nose to end of tail. If that doesn´t work, you could tighten up the encasement by twisting the ends and then, after grilling, satisfy hunger. That´s what is served in baseball stadiums to fans that drink too much beer. |
