Can I give you a call bark? DogPhone lets pets ring their owners.

 

Here's what we all need:  a device that allows your pooch to call YOU.

From the Guardian:

When dog moves ball containing device it sends a signal to a laptop and launches a video call

Whether it is a silent stare or simply a rousing bark, dogs have found myriad ways to communicate with humans. Now researchers have created a hi-tech option for canines left home alone: a ball that allows them to call their owners on the old dog and bone.

November Greyhound Walk - Sunday, November 14th

 

Greyhound Walk: See You This Sunday, November 14th

When: November 14h, Sunday, @ 1:30 PM Where:  Hendricks Park            2198 Summit Ave            Eugene, OR 97403                 Let's enjoy a walk in Eugene's oldest city park.  Hendrick's park is located in southeast Eugene, east of the University of Oregon. From Franklin Blvd., head south on Orchard St. Turn left on Fairmont, and then turn right onto Summit Ave. Follow Summit up the hill and turn right at the fork, onto Floral Hill Drive. There will be a parking lot on the right side and we will meet in that lot.

A Note on Terrain: Hendricks Park is up in the hills, and this walk will include some climbs--mostly gradual rather than steep--but climbing nonetheless.
