The "Regurgitating Puppy Alarm Clock"(tm)

Notice that I believe that this product will be big...VERY BIG!  Don't you even think about stealing my idea.  I can just see Brookstone and The Sharper Image fghting over this product to make it theirs.  It all came to me this morning as I lept to my feet...without once drop of coffee to help me move...that this idea is here to change the way we all wake up in the morning.  It happened like this:

First our alarm clock went off.  7:15 and it buzzed repeatedly.  I didn't move.  My wife hardly even was breathing at that point.  Finally she reached over (the clock is on her side of the bed) probably hit snooze, remember my eyes were not opening for any reason at this point...then I heard her resetting it to go off at 8:30 since I asked her what time it would go off (I had a 10:00 sales meeting). 

Next was the neighbor's landscaper blowing grass and leaves and little garden critters around with a gas powered gardening machine.  That didn't faze either of us but I heard my wife grumble about it and then she went back to sleep as did I.  I looked at the Bose clock radio/ CD player on my side of the bed and noticed the time...then went right back to sleep.

So far so good...until I heard the next sound.  The sound was that of our puppy trying to throw up something...might have been the frog she ate yesterday much to our chagrin...might have been an errant piece of rawhide...who knows.  What I do know is this:  I hit the carpet running for a towel and the puppy without once thinking I should go back to sleep and ignore the sound.  It works!  My new invention is the "Regurgitating Puppy Alarm Clock"(tm)...does the trick everytime.

Here is how I envision it.  My puppy is now just 7 months old and is already 42 lbs.  She will grow even more so she is not the prototype I imagine.  The clock will be the size of a small terrier...about a 15 pounder.  It will move around slowly after you go to sleep so that you won't knw exactly where it is when it wakes you up.  No chance that you could pull a Ferris Bueller tennis ball "alarm clock shut-off" with this setup. 

There will be a sealed pouch of something like cream of mushroom soup.  Whatever it is will look 1) like doggie puke 2) be of some consistency that you would never want on your Gucci loafers, carpet or under your bed.  The sound will be the horrible sound of something coming "up" and of course the clock will be digital so when you finally get to the clock...you will see the time.  The time frame will be like 20 seconds so you know you must be moving quickly to hit the off button.  That's it...

Now...maybe the real estate business is all you really need to get you moving fast in the AM...if not...I'm taking orders for my clock starting today...Master Card and Visa are accepted.  No Am Ex.
