**Love 'Em or Leash 'Em** the first half of the fourth episode of season 2 of *My Life as a Teenage Robot*.

The episode was produced in 2004 and premiered on Nickelodeon in the United States on January 26, 2005.

## Synopsis

Jenny's got a new boyfriend, a rather cute boy robot named Kenny, YK-9. Despite having been made by Dr. Wakeman's rival, Dr. Mogg, Kenny seems to be the perfect match for the young teenage robot girl. But why is he scratching himself with his legs and howling at the moon? And what happens when Sheldon gets jealous?

## Quotes

Mrs. Wakeman (to Jenny): XJ-9! You disobeyed a direct order and went out with that, that, ANIMAL! Maybe, I should've followed Mogg's pathetic modifications and made you part dog!

## Trivia

	+ This episode premiered in Australia on October 15, 2004.
	+ This episode premiered in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2004.
* It is shown that Sheldon owns a full-body cat costume that he claimed he wears at the Feline Fan Convention, establishing that he is a cat lover. He wore the costume to expose Kenny as part dog (causing Kenny to chase him), and later to "serenade" Jenny by meowing on her backyard fence at night.

	+ This episode was finished in August of 2004.
* According to Gabe Swarr, who storyboarded this episode, the influence for the comedy of the episode was Warner Bros. cartoon tropes, surreal gags and teen angsts.

However, Rob Renzetti defended the episode and each specific gag which led to the producer's approval for the episode to be made. [*citation needed*]
