What did you do today?



















Aww, look at those eyes. He’s trying to look so innocent, but now you’ll know whether it’s just an act. The Pet’s Eye View camera attaches to your pet’s collar and can be set to take photos every one, five or fifteen minutes during the day so that you can see for yourself what he or she is up to while you’re away. If you’re like me, and your pet happens to be a lazy housebound pooch in the over-eight age bracket, don’t be surprised to find lots of pictures of the same view from your bed or that forbidden couch or chair, many of which seem to be covered with a thick layer of drool. If you’ve got one of those outdoor dogs who’s continually digging his way under the fence or climbing trees to escape, this might finally show you where you went wrong in thinking your efforts at confinement were finished. So many dog mysteries, but now you’ll be in on the game!

Really, what you end up seeing depends wholly upon your pet’s personality and activity level. A friend of mine got one, and learned that her dog spends most of each morning trying on her clothes and ordering take-out food. Some dogs, it turns out, watch way too much TV; some have secret relationships with neighbors and/or their own siblings, some are emptying the kitchen trash can on the floor and rolling around in it. Just be glad there’s no audio on this thing. You might want to see what your dog does all day, but you don’t want to hear.
