Dogs don’t just woof, they tweet

Clearly, the average IQ level of the Twitter community isn’t low enough for some people.

That’s why Mattel Inc. has come out with Puppy Tweets, a dog collar with built-in Twitter access unveiled in New York this week at the 2010 Toy Fair.

All you need is a Wi-Fi Internet connection and a Twitter account for your dog.

Then, instead of the mundane updates you get from other family members, like “It’s a nice day,” and “I am going to the grocery store,” you’ll be getting important updates like “I rolled in garbage” and “Guess what I am licking right now.”

Puppy Tweets will hit stores this fall. So far I haven’t seen any plans to give Twitter access to birds, which actually invented tweeting.
