Chocolate, Is it Bad for Dogs?
If you are a dog owner, you might have heard that chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Well, according to sources, it is toxic, but not unless the dog eats a certain amount. In other words, chocolate may have to be treated sorta like alcohol for dogs and do in moderation.
We’ve all heard it, “Don’t give your dog chocolate it will kill him”. We’ll how true is it you’re probably wondering. Do I have to rush him to an emergency vet if he ate one of my M&M’s?
The truth is chocolate contains theobromine that is toxic to dogs in sufficient quantities. This is a xanthine compound in the same family of caffeine, and theophylline.
The good news is that it takes, on average, a fairly large amount of theobromine 100-150 mg/kg to cause a toxic reaction. Although there are variables to consider like the individual sensitivity, animal size and chocolate concentration.

Here’s a really cool DIY that shows you how to make an automatic cat water dispenser so your kitty can drink water straight from the faucet!
So, I built the Cat Faucet so the cats could turn the water on and off for themselves. As a kit, I would rate this medium complexity. The electronics are simple and straight-forward but you also need to do some mechanical work and some plumbing to complete the project, which raises the complexity.

Although the dog tracking GPS system from Garmin looks to be unnecessary for tracking dogs, (maybe its main purpose is for hunting dogs) I can recall countless times when I lost my dog in my neighborhood, only to find him 20 minutes, happy after his little lone-trip.
Now, this dog tracking system can be great if you tend to lose your dog a lot.
The Astro GPS Dog Tracking System requires very little configuration straight out of the box, and is extremely simple to use. Once the transmitter and receiver acquire a GPS signal, the receiver automatically lets users know the location of their dog. Unlike old radio telemetry collars, the Astro features a dog page that shows the precise direction and distance to a dog – even indicating if it is running, on point, or treeing quarry – and does it all without the annoyance of beeper collars. Unlike cellular tracking systems, there are no subscriptions or setup fees required to use the device.

Here’s a cool lookin’ amphibious snake robot that can swim in the water. It looks scary the potentials of what (harmful stuff) this robot can possibly do.
ACM-R5 is equipped with paddles and passive wheels around the body. To generate propulsive force by undulation, the robot need a resistance property as it glides freely in tangential direction but cannot in normal direction. Due to the paddles and passive wheels, ACM-R5 obtains that character both in water and on ground.
Video after the jump!
