Dog Swag: 3 Hot Trends

I love my dog as much as the next gal. But, dog lovers, we have got to get a grip.

They are now selling a fitness tracker… for my dog. The FitBark is for people who want to track their pet’s every move via a gizmo attached to the collar. It calculates my dog’s hourly activity level and *bonus*, according to the literature, it lets me compare this level to other dog breeds.

Why would I need a gadget to tell me this information? Why would I not just look at my dog? The one who tracks me around 24/7?

This dog gadgetry seems excessive. Even to me, a person who once debated swabbing Stanley’s cheek and sending it away to a place that does dog geneology.

I would love to know the different breeds that combined to make the perfect alchemy that is Stanley. But there are better things to spend my money on, like a fitness belt for myself!

I know these are reminiscent of those fanny packs from the 80s, but an on-the-go girl’s got gear. Even when she’s just walking the dog, I mean, conducting a personal training canine fitness session.

The spibelt fits my keys, phone, Kleenex and motivational dog treats. All without bouncing around when I’m chasing Stanley as he chases local wildlife and the occasional threatening leaf.(Click this link to go to spibelt.com where you can order this belt up for around $20.)

For dog owners, I like the spibelt. I disparage the FitBark, and I question the Cuddle Clone, which is a stuffed animal clone of your pet you can order from the internet.

Am pretty sure this face is unclonable – so will just enjoy the real thing instead!

Happy Thursday, guru girls & guys!
