    I saw this in an online catalog----what do YOU think??? Will you be getting a flash drive for your dog? What would you put on it? Reward??

    pet usb id - top tag

    Give pet owners peace of mind. Top Tag goes beyond traditional ID tags by storing pets' information on a flash drive. Pre-formatted pages include prompts for owner contact details, alternate contact details, medical conditions, diet restrictions, photos and more. Helpful for locating lost animals, as well as giving pet sitters and caretakers critical information. Also can be used as a great tool to teach children the responsibility of pet ownership before acquiring one.

    • 64MB USB mini drive
    • includes durable waterproof case
    • pre-formatted pages contain seven main categories and 14 sub-categories of pet care information
    • plugs into any USB port on desktop or laptop PCs running Windows® XP, Vista, 2000 or Millennium
    • 1-year warranty
    • 1" x 7/16" x 1 7/8"

    Windoze only.  Lost me right there.  Guess I'll stick with the old fashioned name plates on the collar.  Big Smile

    do they work from INSIDE the dog's stomach? Cuz that's where that big ole pretty shiny thing would end up...and not even in the stomach of the dog wearing it...LMBO.

     It would have to be water proof too. My dogs are always wet. I suppose it isn't a bad idea, but tags get lost all the time.

    Geez. That thing is HUGE. My dog doesn't even wear regular tags, but... THAT? Never, LOL. Besides, how likely is it that the person who picks up a lost dog is computer literate enough to figure that thing out?

    Good point! It'd be better if it's going to be so huge...to simply have a big red button that starts to talk when pushed!

    What I would love is a remote-activated, motion sensing, talking tag. Dog gets lost, owner calls in the Special Number, dog tag starts talking any time anyone comes nearby: "Stay away! My name is Rascal and I am scared, so I might bite! Please call so my owner can come and get me! Do not try to pet me or pick me up, I will bite you!"

    Sigh... that's my biggest fear if The Stinker gets out. Not that he's going to get squished, but because he's sooooooo cute that people can't resist treating him like a teddy bear, and he does **not** tolerate that well, especially if he's stressed. Confused
