I Want a Puppy

Games like Nintendogs, which let you have an e-dog on the Nintendo DS portable, don't quite scratch the itch. In fact the posters at Walmart featuring adorable little e-puppies just remind us that the itch is there.

Now when I was in college, there was a game out called Dogz. It let you play with an electronic dog on your PC. This has developed into Petz, which has versions for dogz and catz. These were great when I was living in a dorm room and the family dog was a state away. In the end though they're just playing with a bunch of electrons on a computer screen with a mouse. It ain't a puppy.

So I'll wait and wait. Once Amybear and I get married, it is puppy time.
