Mattel's Puppy Tweet is for the pet & gadget lover. Every time your pooch moves, barks or growls, the collar sends a pre-programmed tweet. Sadly, it won't actually tell you whether your dog is on the couch, needs to be let out or making an entree out of your Redwing boots — each tweet is chosen at random from a selection of 500 options, including "I bark because I miss you — there, now hurry home" and "I finally caught that tail I've been chasing and....OOUUUCCHHH!" Your dog has to be within a reasonable distance of the room with your computer in it, though; the tweets are sent wirelessly from the collar to a USB receiver that has to be plugged into a supported Internet-connected device.
