Imagine that it’s 2005 and your parents are arguing at full volume and your iDog is just fuckin jammin to the beat of your parents’ marriage falling apart.
One of my core memories was getting an iDog as a birthday gift as a snotty little kid, and try as I might to get it to dance to whatever music I had and my dad’s music it just sat there and chilled, but by GOD when my mom and dad started yelling at each other over Christmas break it started BOPPIN
I had this little Sega dog as a kid I got at a yard sale. It would bark and wag its tail whenever my mom was screaming at my dad. That shit is trapped in my head forever. Whenever I hear an argument, that bit-crushed dog bark plays in my brain.

I really loved my I-dog as a kid despite knowing how trash it was. It was pretty indestructible surprisingly enough, so I was able to keep it for a long time and get some good use out of it. I ended up eventually getting rid of it though because it started to lose its charm and also it’s mobility, and I was getting a bit too old for it. Loved the vid, very honest and really humorous too
