OMG, the Dog’s on Twitter!

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

When will the insanity stop? Now Mattel, the toymaker who brought you Barbie and Ken, has come up with a device so your DOG can Twitter!  According to money.cnn.com, “Puppy Tweets is a plastic tag with a sound and motion sensor that you attach to your pet’s dog collar and connect its USB receiver to your computer. Then you create a Twitter account for your dog and enjoy updates all day.” You can receive the pre-recorded “updates”,  on your computer or your smart phone. The updates are supposedly cued to the dog’s activity, so if he’s running around at doggy day care, it may send you a Tweet that lets you know he’s active.  Mattel previewed Puppy Tweet to the media ahead of the annual Toy Fair in New York in February.

You’ll have to wait awhile to get your dog on the social network–the Puppy Tweet won’t be in stores until fall. Be prepared to shell out $29.95.

Check out our new outdoor web cams!

If you really like to track of your dog’s day, check out the latest addition to Stone Mountain Pet Lodge’s doggy daycare program. We now have web cams on our outdoor play yards as well as in the Petvention Center, so you can see how Spot is behaving, indoors and out.

It’s a great way for dogs to socialize and exercise. Dogs are grouped together according to temperament and size so timid dogs aren’t bothered by dogs that play in a more active fashion. Even old dogs seem to like to just hang out with their buddies and watch the youngsters play.  It’s fun to watch the dogs line up at the end of “recess.”

Dog owners who enroll their pets in Stone Mountain’s doggy daycare program report that their dogs go home tired and happy. After a hard day at work, a calm dog can be a blessing. Check it out!
