You always knew your pup was a bit of a bird-brain; now he can actually tweet. At this year’s New York Toy Fair, Mattel announced Puppy Tweets, a collar tag with sensors linked to your home computer via Wi-Fi. The tag sends a tweet to your dog’s Twitter account whenever the animal moves, barks, or naps.
And here’s the… uh… extreme… erm.
Twitter! It’s Tweets for Twits, and now your Spitz.

I have no idea what you’re talking about… so here’s a book about a rabbit with a pancake on its head.
From 1999 to 2003, Hironori Akutagawa photographed his rabbit, Oolong, with various objects perched on his conveniently flat head. Now the photos have been compiled in a book titled In Almost Every Picture 8 from KesselKramer Publishing.
We eagerly await the sequel, featuring a bunny with a book about a bunny with objects on its head on its head.
Just what your coffee table’s been yearning for, Kyra M.
We continue our look back at 2009 fondly—make that fondlingly—with a salute to snorgling: Interspecies, intraspecies and intra-whatever. (Click pictures to view original posts. Parental guidance suggested.)
The cat-apps keep coming, and this time Simon’s Cat gets in on the game, aptly enough with a game of Simon. “Simon’s Cat in Purrfect Pitch” brings the feisty feline to the iPhone. Play by matching Simon’s songs, or compose your own.
It was another tear-stained night in the French Quarter, heartbreak hanging over every street like a grieving fog. There was already a row of shot glasses on the bar in front of me, drained like fallen soldiers, but I still had sorrows to drown.
It was Amateur Night, when every cab driver with the ten-spot to get his horn out of hock took his turn in the shadows of Parker and Gillespie. A beady-eyed quartet shuffled on stage; with luck, they’d only butcher a few numbers before slinking away in shame. I ordered another shot and braced myself for the worst.
But then they started to play…
