Has anyone here tried to strap a pedometer to a cat or dog?
Do they need 20k steps?
Brb
Update: When I tried to strap my watch to his collar he licked my hand then laid on top of it
Result: Not impressed
haha I think that's a contender for best photo of the day :)
Whats Halloween?
What's Happy?
Who are all you weirdos, anyway?
