Twitter for Dogs?

We're all about loving our pets - but this seems a bit over the top.

I remember the day that I first learned about Twitter. I was sorely confused, and it took me a good six months to actually sign up. Then, once I did, I was still baffled. Tweeting. Re-tweeting. It was enough to give anyone whose used to, you know, communicating orally, a serious headache.

I'm now better versed (athankya) but if YOU still find Twitter to be puzzling and hard to use, prepare to feel really, really stupid.

This just in: dogs can use Twitter.

A new invention called The Canine Twitterer ($30) is a device strapped around your puppy's neck that allows him to share his deep thoughts and sardonic, 140 character musings with his Twitter followers.

As the fine people at OUTBLUSH explain it, a motion sensor and microphone in the tag interprets activity and sends a corresponding pre-loaded tweet. Tweets are sent from the tag to a USB receiver plugged into your computer. Sounds pretty hi-tech for a species that still licks it's own bum for kicks.

If your dog got Twitter, what would he/she say?
