No dog to walk? Get one of these!

OK, it sounds like something from Dave Barry's Gift Guide, but here are dog balloons that actually walk! I found these on a U.K. site, which says that the balloons "have been balanced perfectly so that when filled with helium they float just above the ground with their little feet dangling to the floor. When you gently walk with them, pulling the lead, their little legs and feet appear to walk giving a super fun, realistic K9 look."

So, keep an eye open for balloon walkers in Howard County. (I wonder if they attract inflatable ticks . . . ?)

P.S. Found them on a U.S. site, My Care Free Pet, for $9.99 . . . with a sale on Corgis for some reason!
