Alan Beck of Purdue, who has sold himself out as an expert on 'pit bulls' in a couple of court cases even though his interest is elsewhere has been suggesting that a robotic dog is the best kind of pet for a few years now. That's a perennial joke, though. I have such strong sales resistance that I’m not even aware of any pet product launches.

Actually, I know when it could be useful since my dogs do have episodes of loose stools that are difficult to pick up. I wipe up what I can and promise to remember to come back and get it later, but often forget. If anyone has anything left in their 401k, I doubt that diamonds for dogs or dog-lovers will be high on their list for Holiday gifts, but anything that will boost the economy is okay by me.

"Just Frost & Toss with Poop Freeze" It's an aerosol spray that freezes poop to solidify it and make it less -- distasteful -- to pick up. I'm pretty sure it's just liquid nitrogen in a can. We used to play with it (liquid N, not dog poop) in the liquid inclusion laboratory in grad school - and though IF you handle it safely, liquid N is a LOT of fun - a plastic bag is a lot cheaper and and a scoop is a lot more environmentally correct. The product is much better suited to stupid grad school tricks than to pet poop management.
