Puppy Tweets Collar

Right off the bat, I’m going to say that this electronic device called ‘Puppy Tweets’ is NOT a joke. If you don’t believe me {or if you want to buy one} you can hop over to Amazon and check out the pre-order page.

Puppy Tweets Collar is actually connected to your wifi at home and sends Tweets via Twitter {you have to set up an account for your pet}, to let you know what your pet is up to. There are over 500 phrases to give you added insight into your pet’s day.

I am thinking that Mattel really missed the mark on this one.

While I’m sure it would be fascinating to know what my dog was doing all day {ahem} I would be ALL over a device that attached to one of my kids and sent me messages letting me know things like:

• Just flushed another small cup down the toilet. Better call the plumber.
• The popcorn ceiling is really fun to play with. REALLY fun. It looks like it’s snowing!
• Unrolled the toilet paper and backed up the sink for you.
• Soap is fun to squirt. And squirt. And squirt. Add ‘liquid soap’ to the grocery list.
• Found a pencil and I’m now hiding in my room and decorating my walls.
• About that potty training? You might want to check out that wet spot on the carpet in my room.
• Around the corner where you can’t see me, but I’m standing on the counter and just found your hidden candy stash.
• I’m hiding an extra little something for myself for later in the bottom dresser drawer.
• Playing with your alarm clock is fun. Prepare to wake up around 3:30 am.
• The carrots that I was supposed to eat for lunch? Found a MUCH better place to put them than my stomach.
• The keys were on the counter ~ figured you wouldn’t mind if I played in the car a bit.
• Scooping soap is fun. How many scoops will the washing machine hold?
• It might be naptime, but it’s not quiet because I’m sleeping.

Periodic messages for those too-quiet moments throughout the day would be nice {I’m thinking} and well worth a $30 price tag ~ you know, should someone venture down that path.
