Great list of apps. I will have to try some of these. There’s a new one I heard about called Where My Dogs At, has anyone tried it? It seems neat.

I could not find Where My Dogs At but I did find My Dogs, with your dog’s ID, medical info, travel guide, social life, and so on. Is that what you were talking about?
