PETA Is Lying To You

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… PETA is an evil organization that has a para-military part to it, just like Sinn Féin & the IRA. Take a look at the info graphic below and then take a look at PetaKillsAnimals.com. PETA isn’t so cute & innocent like the animals they SAY they’re trying to save… Beware. PETA IS LYING TO YOU!

Dog Park! BOW WOW WOW!

The_BORG — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:58:23 +0000

Dog Park by Dogster.com. It’s a virtual dog park for the iPhone or iPod Touch (wi-fi needed for iPod Touch). Social media for your dog. Although it’s a cute little app, there’s not much to it. See other dogs that are online, nearest, or favorites. You can see who’s in the Dog Park, chat with other people (unlimited text messaging), earn virtual currency (dog bones) to buy gifts, send picture messages to other dog owners and manage your tiny profile for your dog.

Dog Park by Dogster.com is a nicely designed app, but like I said, there’s really not much to it at all, which is disappointing. They have these “friend codes” all over the app. You need them to send dog bones to others and to friend others, but I don’t see friend codes in the app itself. No clue of what my friend code is. Another downside to this app is that it’s no way tied to Dogster.com profiles. I really think that would be a big asset to this app.

Dog Park by Dogster.com is free from the App Store, so it’s worth it to check it out.

Overall, this app is nice, but a disappointment if you’re trying to get your dog into mobile social media. I have heard the Facebook app “Dog Book” is working on an iPhone app. I’m very interested in seeing that.

Puppies! Touch Pet Dogs

Who doesn’t love puppies? I certainly love puppies. If you love puppies, then you should check out Touch Pet Dogs from ngmoco. You adopt a virtual puppy, train it, feed it, take care of it, play with it, just like a real puppy. You have seven breeds of dogs to choose from: Labrador, Portuguese Water Dog, West Highland Terrier, German Shepherd, Jack Russell, Dachshund, and even a Robot dog. Robot dog? Yes. A robot dog. They act just like real puppies too. Wait, no pug? What the fuck? Pugs are the best dog breed around. If you follow me on Twitter then you know that I own a pug, so I’m a bit biased. I have a few other favorite breeds, unfortunately they’re not in Touch Pets Dogs.

Touch Pet Dogs allows you to earn money for use in the game to buy things for your puppy (or puppies). Petting, cleaning, playing, feeding your puppy will let you earn that money. WIth that in-game money you can adopt another puppy and buy various items from the pet store like more toys, cloths, cleaning supplies, and more. You can also purchase more food for your puppy from the App Store for various amounts of real money. You can avoid that for the most part, but if you need and want to, go for it.

You can also socialize your puppy with other puppies on ngmoco’s Plus+ network. Puppies love play dates. So far I haven’t seen anything naughty with the puppies yet. I don’t think your little puppy with get too excited during the play dates, so there’s no need to worry about a little of puppies. Puppies having puppies? That’s just wrong.

As a responsible owner of a puppy, your skill levels will rise when you complete various amounts of activities with your puppy. There’s a news feed that has other player’s activity on there and you can use Facebook Connect to have your activities published to Facebook if you so desire.

Overall, Touch Pets Dogs is a fun time killer for any dog lover, even if you don’t actually own a dog. The app is FREE [App Store link]. As I mentioend before, you can purchase additional food units; you can get 10 for $0.99, 20 for $1.99, 120 for $9.99, or 400 for $29.99.
