Mattel Toys has introduced a cool little gadget that will have your dog paying for himself in no time at all. Not that we need payback from our dogs, at least not in cash anyway, their unconditional love is worth every dime we spend on dog food, as is every penny spent on dog accessories and vet bills. But wouldn't it be cool if ol Fido (in my case, Duke) himself could contribute toward the family bottom line?

Do you have any doubt for one minute that if your dog thought he could make you some cash, he wouldn't?, man, they LOVE us! Well, now they can really show their appreciation by using social media the way it was supposed to be used – showing the lazy among us how making money online is so easy that a dog can do it.

This new toy called Puppy Tweets may just be a way for your dog to make money online! Those crazy Mattel toy scientists have spent way too much time on Twitter, I guess it was inevitable that they come up with Puppy Tweets, social media for dogs.

Next thing you know there will be Barkbook, MyCrate, Digger and a whole bunch of others. Soon to be followed by other sorts of canine social media engines such as; Microbarking, Barkcasts and free dlog platforms like Dogger and Wordpaw.  I think my dog would say that Delicious speaks for itself.

This could be the next big thing! But wait! Puppy Tweets havn't even been released yet! But there is good news:  through an exclusive online offer available only by PetPx.com, you can now pre-order your Puppy Tweets. Be the first to have your dog Tweeting on Twitter. And as a special incentive for the 30th commenter to this post PetPx is offering a FREE Puppy Tweeter. But why wait?, pre-order your very own Puppy Tweeter today at PetPx and it will be shipped to you before the general public can get it's hands on it! (more…)

With some exceptions, pets are generally happier in pairs. Two pets may entertain one another and learn from each other while you’re away. Adding a dog or cat to a single pet household can help reduce the incidence of separation anxiety, which often arises from the fear of being left alone. An additional pet can also help revitalize an aging or older dog.

If you’re considering adding a new Pet to your family, here are some tips to help make the transition easier and more successful. Please also ask your vet for advice on the best way to introduce a new pet to your home and family. (more…)
