pupperware-doggieOut of work? Struggling to get by from unemployment check to unemployment check? The folks at Shure Pets have a solution: Skip the rat race and embark (ahem) on an exciting new career as a “Pupperware” sales person.

Per the press release:

Recession or Not, Dog Owners Love to Pamper Their Pooches at Pupperware Parties

Despite the recession, pet owners across the country are pampering their pooches at Pupperware Parties. These parties are not only a fun way for women to network and meet new people, they are also an excellent way to make some extra income during this economy.

These intimate get-togethers are being hosted by those who work with companies like Shure Pets (www.shurepets.com), which allow individuals to become pet product consultants. Direct sales is an increasingly popular avenue for laid off workers, or those looking for extra income, with the drive and ambition to create a business for themselves.

And what better way to get involved with direct sales than by throwing these fun parties through Shure Pets? Attracting both pet lovers and novices alike, these gatherings are becoming increasingly popular – as a result of both the economy and resilient pet industry.

Well if you’re going to own a pet, might as well make it a resilent one.

Next: Combining Pupperware sales pitches with naughty lady parties. Hey, I bet bowser would really get off with one of these Milkbone-shaped vibrators. And that new line of lingerie for your pussy? No, even we won’t go there.
