TrackUms. . .The First Smartphone For Pets

Well Allllllllrighty then. No. I'm really not joking.

It's not enough to give phones to kids in Kindergarten, now they want to give them to our pets too.

???

(No, I understand the ad.  I'm just ??? over the whole concept.  Why would this be necessary in life?  That's rhetorical.)

I suppose some people really DO have more money than they know what to do with.

I'd be more than happy to receive those excess funds . . .  Silly7

From the ad, "Coming soon to Indiegogo." Isn't Indiegogo where a person has to collect x amount of money to have someone consider marketing their product?

I don't have more money then I know what to do with, but ... it does sound kinda fun.  *ducking*

Yes. Indiegogo is like GoFundMe. I think it might be kind of nice right now for when I'm taking my mom around. But overall, I wouldn't like it.

Truly, if you want to look in on them, all you have to do is set up Skype through a computer camera, set it on auto-answer for your account on the phone, and voila.

If you have speakers set up, they can hear you too. I wouldn't do speakers though. It would probably be too upsetting for Vlad.
