New Toys – Pet Tracker
We’ve gotten some new toys. I’m not going to tell you everything right now…we’ll spread it out over the next couple weeks. But for today, we want to tell you about the pet tracker we got. It is pretty cool. And it is giving me some much needed peace of mind.
I got a Tagg Pet Tracker for Miss Adventurous Adelaide.
It’s really small and just clips on her coller (and we still get to keep our pretty collar and not get stuck with some collar that has to be used). This is what it looks like and the square thing is its’ docking station to recharge the battery and update the software.
I’ve been tracking her while I’m at work and she’s at daycare. While I’m sitting on the couch and she’s just running around outside… just have to make sure it works, ya know. So when I say find her on the computer or on my phone, I can see this little map and a dot that says “here I am”. 😀
And you can also see where she’s been with these little dots on the map. Pretty cool. It’s not bad on accuracy either. The other night it said she was at the back to the left of the house. I checked on her and she was actually right behind the house so it was like 25 yards off. Not bad.
Extra bonus, it tracks her activity. At the end of the day I can see a chart of how active she was.
And it will also chart it by time of day and historical activity…
Cool, hunh?
I’m not a rep for this company or anything and I don’t know if this tracker is any better or worse than any other. I just thought I’d share our new toy with you all. I’m a bit of a gadget head and I love technology toys.
I’ll show you more toys later. 😀

Wow! Very, very impressive! indeed! Cannot wait to see what else you come up with!
I love looking at the times she’s active…or not! Interesting seeng when she’s most active…has to be in conjunction with the time you come home! The activity snapshot shows she’s moderately active a lot!! She just has a ball all the time!
What a fun AND reassuring tool to jave! Thanks for sharing! You’re very creative when it comes to ‘toys”….bubble vlowing machines, trackers…goodness kows what’s next!
Love and hugs to you and all yourpack and always Brendol!

Oooh now I see what you mean when you were talking about Addy’s activity level in the chat the other night (I couldn’t load the image). This is VERY cool! Now only if we could get more pet parents to use it on their adventurous dogs, so they don’t end up getting hit by a car and joining our community! Thanks for the info.
P.S. let’s see what the collar actually looks like on Addy, I’d like to see how big/small it is.

Rene, here is a pic of her with it on her collar. This pic was actually taken to show how tired she is now that she is at home. http://s1357.photobucket.com/user/karmaannb/media/e836e689-1e18-4841-a755-25a8df0d0d17_zps23e1b91b.jpg.html
