Hi-

I need to build some sort of a flasher to put on my dog's collar- she's the
same color as the carpet and keeps getting stepped on :-) I'm thinking a
3909 flasher running a LED from a coin cell. I haven't kept up to date on
what's available, or if there are any better chips than the LM 3909 out
there. Ideally it should be able to run for a year and be small enough to be
clipped onto the dogs collar without having a honking big battery hanging
off it (ideally the thing has to be smaller than the dog, which is pretty
tiny). Any suggestions appreciated. TIA.

Train the dog to stay out of the way.

We trained our cats by gently kicking them in the ribs when they got
underfoot. This annoys cats, and they quickly learn to steer clear of
people's feet.

Alternatively, you can buy such collars at PetCo, but plan on
changing batteries about 50x more often than your spec.

Best,
James Arthur

Step on their paws a few times or, as I did, roll my desk chair over a
paw... they learn really fast.

(I really felt bad about that one... I thought I had broken the pup's
paw, but nope... just lots of yelping ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
