DOGS

I've been wanting a dog really hard for the last couple days, but so much responsibility! But also, so much kisses!

crap, how to embed from instagram.... he is a very cute and well behaved dog anyway, so many people think he is a puppy.

Looks like a puppy. CUUUTE

Thanks!

omg that dog is ADORABLE
look at that snout
look at that tongue and those white little teeth!

i love having dogs, it's good for my general well-being

We just got our big guy back after he spent a week with my wife's mother, it was the longest they'd ever been separated (he's 6 and she's had him since puppydom). Such a happy reunion!

My new company recently launched. We are making a wireless dog activity monitor that syncs your dog's (or dogs') activity through Bluetooth (to your mobile phone) or (through WiFi) directly to our servers.

Cool! When I get a dog eventually—and that WILL happen—I may get this gizmo.

Hang on, $10 shipping? That's nuts.

(I realize you probably have zero to do with pricing, but that seems high.)

I think that's just a placeholder. Note: "Actual shipping costs will be confirmed at ship time."

i appreciate this tech but i would just have a long list of

*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is farting*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*

awesome. good luck

I would find this handy. One of my dogs has joint and/or muscle problems and his mobility is limited. However, I'm well aware that he plays up to me, and I'd be curious to know how much he moves around when I'm not at home or after I've gone to bed.

This could also be a good thing for dogs with separation anxiety, to see if their dogs do settle down and go asleep after they've gone out or remain active (and possibly distressed) for the whole day. If I hadn't had noise complaints from my neighbours some years ago, I never would have known how much the dogs hated being left alone during the day.

What I'm really holding out for, though, is a microchip with a GPS tracker in it, so that I can find my dog if it ever gets stolen.

Hahah JJJ otm. Benson's monitoring would be pretty damn similar, I think.

yeah but if you synced it to a twitter feed it would still be more interesting than the 77 updates thread

this is benson, benson, after all

xp XD

where was the option for 'mongrel'?

i'd almost go as far as to say 'dog breeds: dud' these days

'dog breeders: hitler'

Just checked the Whistle promo vid. Looks useful. Do you have a Portland distributor? Want one?

Msg me and I'll pass on your info. Not sure if we've settled on a distribution strategy yet (retail vs. online, etc...). Thanks for the interest!

OMG Suzy. Yours??

No, that's the dog Suzy babysits for sometimes iirc!

Kenny is on that sofa RIGHT NOW (he belongs to my friend James, but I'm looking after him for a few days).

One of these days, I'd like my own blue brindle whippet (or whippetlurcher).

kenny!

Ken's here until Friday, and as I write, is passed out on my bed, back legs twitching away because: dog dreaming.

We got a teardown, if you'd like to see my handiwork: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2014/03/26/whistle-dog-activity-monitor-teardown-wearablewednesday/

i would like to point out that the siberian husky is not dumb, just bored by your stupid tests

aha confirmed -- i looked at the data sheet and "intelligence" = "trainability" which is not exactly the same thing
