    Actually, small children make better babe magnets, but getting rid of them when they get older (teens) is more complicated. With small animals you can always use Pet Processing, Inc. Keep in mind, too, that in some areas rental sheep may provide a higher margin opportunity than cats and dogs. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

      Here is my product: Pet Rentals! Lots of people love fuzzy creatures, but a lot of them either can’t keep one (Apartment, Housing regulation, Roommates, etc.), or they don't want to take care of one. With pet rentals, people could just rent a pet for a day, and then bring it back. The real catcher will be that not only is it a rental store, but you can also buy the pets outright. Imagine how many people would rent a pet only to decide at the end of the day that they want to keep it. The TV ad would go like this: A nerdy little guy walks into the store and rents a cute little dog. Flash to him walking the dog in a park. An attractive woman walks by and says, "That is the cutest dog I have ever seen!" The nerd replies with new self-confidence, "Wow, you are the first person he has taken a liking to. He has good taste." Flash to the two of them getting married, and the dog dressed up in a little doggie tuxedo. It is a sure thing! If only I had some motivation, my chain of pet rental stores would be as widespread as Starbucks. :)

      The liability issues might be interesting. "Why yes, I'd like to rent that cute little pit bull." - DOH! :omg:

You could, but most customers - especially those who order around closing time at the pub - will want to serve her breakfast, as well. A few may want to take her to a movie, or the park. Best to ask a flat day rate in such cases. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

                  This sounds like real animal exploitation, and I advise you not to take it seriously. The pets would be traumatized by having such a variety of owners that they would be psychologically imbalanced. Rogers Pet Processing sounds kinder in comparison. Regardz Colin J Davies

                      Yes, I agree. This is not a good idea. Better alternatives are providing a foster home for a pet from a humane society or some other similar organiztion. Think about the animals and not the cash.

                          A real cat wouldn't let you do this to her. Only dogs will be happy to suffer this (olthough most are likely to get weirdos this way)
