Hasta La Ideas

All Unitasker Wednesday posts are jokes — we don’t want you to buy these items, we want you to laugh at their ridiculousness. Enjoy!

Having a dog guarantees certain things in one’s home. Hair being vacuumed nearly every other day, collecting chew toys from around the house, and having to clean off paws before entering the house are among these guarantees.

Apparently, someone has become tired of only wiping their dog’s paws, so they decided to introduce the Paw Plunger to the dog-owning public. The “invention” looks like a coffee mug that you fill with water. It also employs the help of soft deep-cleaning bristles to clean off the dirty paws. And, since your dog’s paws are wet after being plunged into the device, you still have to wipe down your dog’s feet afterward to dry them.

For all the times that I used to wipe off my parent’s black lab’s paws with a towel, I never imagined a better way to do such a chore. It was hard enough to hold the black lab still long enough to wipe her paws. Wrestling with her to get each paw into a liquid-filled Paw Plunger probably would have been a nightmare. 

Thanks to reader Christine for bringing this unitasker to our attention.
