Today's Extreme K9s are the ones who are barking around on Twitter...
"It's Monday morning, and you're already missing your pup, wondering what kind of mischief she/he is getting into at home. Is she/he snoozing, barking at the cat, or digging holes? With Puppy Tweets, your pooch can fill you in on what she/he has been up to. Just attach a special motion--- and sound-sensing tag is her/his collar, then plug in a wireless receiver into your home computer. Whenever your puppy moves or barks, the tag notes how intense the action is and sends that info to your computer. Based on the level of activity, an appropriate tweet is chosen and posted to your pup's Twitter page. For example, her/his tweet might say, "Finally caught that tail I've been chasing! Phew, what a workout!"
