When I first saw the website for Rear Gear, I thought it had to be a joke. I prayed it was a joke. Please let it be a joke! Here’s how it’s marketed:
Is your pet feeling left in the dirt because of his/her unsightly rear? I’ve got them covered… Rear Gear is handmade in Portland, [...]

There’s debate about where limericks originated, but since some scholars think limericks had their roots in 18th-century Ireland, it’s a good enough excuse for me to write about [...]
Sounds like the start to a lame joke, right? But this is no joke, although it may put a smile on your face. Here’s what happened.

Some people say Iditarod dogs have it rough. But rookie musher Justin Savidis was so overjoyed to get his dog Whitey-Lance back after the dog was lost for four days in subzero temperatures that he held him on his lap and wouldn’t let go, according to various news reports.
