I giggled as I wrote that title, I couldn’t help it. If you aren’t giggling, then you may have possibly read it wrong. We can take a brief pause to let you reread…laughing yet? Ok good. I want you to think of your cute cuddly pet. If you don’t have one, imagine the cutest animal you can. Now think of its ugliest part (hint: their butt). Well, now there’s a way to avoid ever seeing an ugly butt!
Fear not my Lovelies, for there is ‘Rear Gear’ the gorgeous alternative to staring at your pet’s less than pretty parts. Created by Lauren Shumaker due to her college roommates cat’s affinity for sticking her butt in her face, this is the ‘end all’ to ugly dirty butts on your pets!
In actuality, Rear Gear is meant more to stay in the packaging rather than be used. I mean I don’t know if I could hold my own reaction if I walked past a dog that had a flower, cupcake or badge on their butthole…
Shumaker notes that these gag gifts only go on dogs about half the time while cats absolutely do not allow it. As an owner of two cats, that doesn’t surprise me in the least. Then again, imagining any animal with these is a little crazy.
My favorite part is Rear Gear’s tagline: No More Mr. Brown Eye … let’s just let the hilarity (and crude humor) of that sink in a moment. Obviously Shumaker is able to enjoy herself when branding such a product. While I can’t imagine ever buying such a contraption, I can admit the concept has given me quite a chuckle.
Lovelies, would you consider buying Rear Gear? What are some of your other favorite gag gift ideas?

I’d like to consider myself a pretty weird and obsessive pet owner but even I don’t go sticking stuff on my dog’s butthole.

<.< My dog kind of uses her butt to poop and such. I’m not sticking anything on there. I have a sheltie anyway. She’s so fluffy that I only see her butt when I bathe her, lol.

I guarantee when I had my cats that was not the first thing I was looking for. Believe me, the litterboxes were bad enough, I didn’t need any more fuel for my nightmares !
I recommend ShimmerBodyCream’s post.

@dw817@xanga - Why would anyone put a sticker on their butt? Like… Actually touching its butt or w.e near it
Yeah, cats would deffinitley not tolerate that! lol. When you pet cats and their butts go in the air, they want you to smell it
Haha.. My cats cant even wear a collar without freaking out. I’d never try that, plus… I dont… particularily look at my cats butt! haha
guest
This is hilarious. Whoever came up with these is.. oh my god. I’m just laughing.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT NEEDS TO POOP?
Off comes the sticker.
It’s got a dirty butt (imagine it.. imaging it? Good).
And you have to touch it to get another sticker on there.
I think I’ll just stick with not looking at it like a normal person.

My dog has a really fluffy butt and we’ve had to resort to getting her what’s essentially a reverse landing strip so that she doesn’t have any cling-ons. But I would never get a sticker for her butthole. That’s just gross and weird

Folks could always save money and buy some stickers at the dollar store but what about the fact that stickers tend to stick to hair…it might hurt a dog’s hole if you had to tear a sticker off every time they needed to poop.
Come to think of it, I just came up with my million dollar idea: ass waxing for dogs. No more dingleberries and it comes with complimentary sinkhole cover (ie butt sticker) that would say something like “peachy clean” or “bottoms up”.
If I was going to cover my dog’s oreo, I’d just cut a tail hole in some kids shorts and put them on my dog.

Oh yeah, that would go over real well with my cat….

Fuck cats.
They always want you to smell their butt when you try to just pet them or scratch their ears. If I for some reason had to have a cat (like, if a friend died and wanted me to care for their cat in their will or some crazy stuff) I would get these stickers.
My dog’s tail usually covers her butt. Not that I’m looking anyway, her face being too adorable and distracting. And she never ever sticks her butt in my face so that’s wonderful.

lol!

But i love my pups butt

I hate when cats flaunt their buttholes at me. I’ve never had a dog do that.
guest
For serious?

@ask_ashleyyy@xanga
LOL my dog has had a doggy brazilian too!
I’m glad this is a gag-gift, because it must be really uncomfortable for the pets, and I personally would NEVER sacrifice my dog’s comfort for my own preference, besides I think my dog’s butt, just like any other part of him, is kinda cute
guest
Very cute. =P
@blackspiders@xanga - Lol! I don’t think I’ve ever had a cat who did that, honestly, and I’ve had a few cats! That’s too funny though.

So you put a sticker on your pet’s butt, then they take a shit, then there’s a sticker on the ground covered in shit, and now has become litter. What a smart idea. How much energy does it take to make one of these stickers, ship it, then let it rot either on the ground, in water, or in a landfill? This is a dumb idea even if it is a gag.
guest
That’s gonna be a very awkward shit…
