GPS Dog Collars - Keeping Track of Fido the High-Tech Way...

I was driving back from the health club listening to a commercial for GPS dog collars, something I didn't know existed. So I came home to see what kind of GPS dog collars they have on Amazon, and found some.

This Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System has got great reviews from about 20 customers so far, and the product description says that if you're tired of losing your dog in tall weeds and such, put that thing on him.

I didn't know it had a vest-type thing and everything for the doggie to wear.

Then there's this GARMIN 010-11049-00 Astro DC 30 Wirelesss Collar Transmitter, which I'm guessing has to be bought in conjunction with the other products -- check the reviews and that frequently bought together listing beneath the others to know for sure. So far, that's got about 5 good reviews.

We've been looking at puppies this weekend at our local neighborhood rescue dog store called "One of a Kind Pets" -- but we haven't taken the plunge to buy a new dog yet.

Our two Rotties died about two years ago, so we're not sure we're up for the challenge.

But I'm reading Marley and Me after seeing the movie, so look out! I'm getting the urge for a new puppy.

Anyway, I was thinking people could throw those doggie GPS collars in their kids' bag (or husband's for that matter) but I know there are smaller GPS trackers for that...

I wonder why it didn't become popular earlier. I mean one of the first things i'd think if I invented gps would be "so this thing lets me track different things? what gets lost often?" Obviously animals get lost all the time - it should be a norm to buy collars like this.

Nice post..........

Thank you for sharing the benefits of the GPS dog collar. Last year nearly 10 million pets went missing but only 2 million were found and returned to their original owners. Now tracking & recovering pets through GPS technology is very easy. The GPS dog collar offers total peace of mind since your dog is always being monitored, no matter where you are.

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary .

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte...

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers.

I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
