Could your dog be addicted to Dogster? Get the facts here.

M: So we’ve been tracking an alarming trend recently…dogs who are completely addicted to Dogster, the dog equivalent of Facebook, Myspace and the like. So, to help you figure out if your dog is indeed addicted to Dogster – we give you these clues to look for:

1. Your dog suddenly disappears for hours on end, last seen holding their laptop in their paws.

2. Your dog starts making reference to new “pup pals” that they’ve acquired, yet you haven’t seen any physical evidence of said pals. Or, your dog starts whining and getting annoyed about the fact that they “don’t have enough pup pals like the Lhasa down the road who has, like, 465 pup pals”.

3. Your dog keeps on badgering you to take new pictures of them all the time, so they can continually update their photos on their Dogster profile page.

4. Your dog sleeps all day long due to the fact that they’re up all night on Dogster.

5. Every time you come back from the store, your dog asks you if you bought them any “Zealies”.

6. Your dog is severely hunched over due to improper computer posture.

Well, there you have it. If your dog exhibits any of the above behaviors, please seek out a Dogster support group or take your dog to a psychologist who specializes in Dogster addiction. Together, we can beat this.
