3 Jae 04.11.06 at 1:24 pm

4 Courtney 04.11.06 at 1:25 pm

Gee, those pups look *thrilled* to be on that monorail. :)

5 BENTONG 04.11.06 at 1:27 pm

Express them to my house. hehe

6 Jan Spencer 04.11.06 at 1:27 pm

Too funny! Just a day at Disney!

Methinks, that if you are being driven crazy by the antics of eight furry puppies, this is the peeeerrrfect way to keep them occupied and out of harm’s way for half an hour.

That is some nice grass.

9 Jen 04.11.06 at 2:45 pm

My puppy says she wants to take that monorail to the dog park.

10 Michele 04.11.06 at 2:50 pm

where do they go? just in circles? hehe

11 Constance 04.11.06 at 4:03 pm

….do they have seatbelts? They look a little nervous as one previous poster mentoined.

12 Mook 04.11.06 at 4:39 pm

The puppies are snarfable, but I don’t see they look particularly happy on the rail…also concerned about safety – a 2 or 3 foot (guessing from picture) fall/jump could seriously injure a wee pupper. Not to be a downer…but, I go for safety over cuteness every time.

Methinks they’re saying, “He *had* to stick us on *this thing* AGAIN???!”

But they are cute, and I like the logo.

14 teddy 04.11.06 at 5:30 pm

Cute or Sad?

15 GLO 04.11.06 at 5:40 pm

looks to me like they’re saying cant we go faster. my pups love car rides(they sarted as babies in a jeep)

16 ariel 04.11.06 at 6:00 pm

okay, dad. wheeeeeeeee.
take the friggin picture already.

17 you guys r silly 04.11.06 at 6:11 pm

I’m not an engineer, but I’m thinking: shouldn’t there be BRACES on this monorail??? I mean, it’s just pieces of metal sticking straight up out of the ground…what’s keeping this thing from tipping to either side??? Shouldn’t there be SUPPORTS on the structure??? And what actually makes it “go”? (And how is the monorail STAYING on top of the thin rail?)
This is all stuff that both me AND the plenty-prosh-pups want to know!?

18 you guys r silly 04.11.06 at 6:13 pm

As an aside…one year when my daughter was a toddler, she got a little red wagon for Christmas and I spent HOURS/DAYS pulling one of our CATS around our apartment in it!!! My daughter wasn’t impressed with the wagon, but TicTac LOVED it!!!

19 sadf 04.11.06 at 6:14 pm

i’m pretty sure it’s just a model. i don’t think it moves.

20 E. Collison 04.11.06 at 6:26 pm

At the top of the monrail page, it says “Monorail *Modeling* page.” The builder also talks about working on “camera-ready” mock-ups.

It’s all for show, folks…

21 you guys r silly 04.11.06 at 6:57 pm

Oh ok — I didn’t get to go to the monorail page. If it’s just a prototype then, me and the pups will put our minds at ease.
Thanks!
Hopefully, when the *real thing* is up and running, all of the technical stuff will be worked out…(including doggy seatbelts & CD player and cup holders…&:o)

22 ariel 04.11.06 at 8:42 pm

those puppies goin nowheres!

23 AuntieMame 04.11.06 at 10:27 pm

“…(including doggy seatbelts & CD player and cup holders…)”

And windows they can stick their heads out of. :-)

24 you guys r silly 04.11.06 at 11:23 pm

Auntie Mame — ABSOLUTELY!! Can’t forget THAT! &:o)

25 Carlisa 04.11.06 at 11:41 pm

Am I seeing things here? I…I…I..need a drink! Make that a double.

26 Laura 04.12.06 at 12:47 am

It’s about time someone created a mass transit system for the pup-about-town. That man is going to make millions . . . probably in Snausages.

27 Hammy 04.12.06 at 2:36 am

Awwwwwwww!!!!!! I love it, now, if only I could fit in there with those darn cute pups!!!!!

28 Bioflux 04.12.06 at 4:13 am

That guy’s lawn looks great! Man, people and their CA-RAYZY hobbies! “Honey, I’ve got an eye-deer! I’m going to build a fake wooden miniature monorail and stick puppies in it! And then take a PICTURE! I’ll be famous! Woo – Hoo!”

29 Mel 04.12.06 at 10:00 pm

Bioflux, LOL.

That thing is so cute it hurts me.
