I think it was yesterday when Yanni read an article in Business Weekly about Japanese robotic dogs. (We have a magazine rack in the bathroom, and Business Weekly is one of the periodicals placed for perusal). Yanni picked Business Weekly no doubt because she is an entrepeneur, just like her father. Anyway, this robotic dog caught her fancy, reminding her of Poochie, this little electronic toy dog Xay had received years ago. Yanni thought she’d like to have a little Japanese robot dog, until she checked the price. . .

Like a flash, she found herself on Ebay,
looking up Poochies and Ferbies. Yanni found out about all kinds of electronic pets. There’s even singing flowers on Ebay. While I grumbled about Japanese demons (Ferbies, etc.), Yanni fueled her curiosity by searching further.

She went to a different site and found an electronic fish that’s being developed in Japan. . .

More on this research train when it develops.
