If dogs could talk

In the new Pixar film "Up," dogs are equipped with special collars that translate their thoughts into words. If Zorro had one of those collars, I'm pretty sure I know what he'd say during our morning runs: "Let's move it, grandma! You call that running? We're practically standing still!" Our runs are more like sprints, punctuated by sudden stops to sniff a bush (Zorro, not me).
A talking dog collar would also help us understand what the hell he's barking at. Last night was difficult: after we went to bed, he barked incessently. Couldn't figure out if it was the moon, boredom, or a distant sound heard only by border collies. I finally turned on the AC in the bedroom and that calmed him down somewhat. Our first obedience class is tonight, and can't come soon enough.
