There's a huge untapped market for high-end dog treats made with natural ingredients, and I'm getting in on the ground floor. If you don't believe me, ask my friend Angie http://www.doghousebagels.com/
A low carb diet for dogs - that is just sick...

Ouch! I didn't notice that the article dates back to October 29th, 2003. @ordinaryman: thanks for pointing that out. I liked the story so much that I had just made up my mind to make an online store for her for free once my exams are over(I was searching the contact details of her business). Anyways, I did some googling only to see onion and entrepreneurs.com pages talking about her. Nothing much. But I pray she's do…
It's the Onion .
The advice columnist was pleased to explain the purposes of the Onion
it's a funny headline, but the business idea seems completely plausible.
The idea seems plausible, but is it something that some random person at home can execute on? The numbers didn't look good.

$ dc -e '2 k 245.57 12 / p'

Yes - in the article, she said she wanted to open a storefront with a bakery about a year later, and they estimated that she would need to sell 90,000 biscuits at $1.50 each to get there. $ dc -e '2 k 90000 365 / p' 246.57 That's a lot of biscuits to make by hand. Let's take it a step further: $ dc -e '2 k 245.57 12 / p' 20.46 If you assume each batch of a dozen takes an hour to make, assume typical kitchen equipment…
I think this could actually work. I'd say it would most probably work.
It's not the idea per se thats bad. There are a number of stories on YC which point to this problem: Most ideas are nothing without execution. (most recent: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=237096 )
