A simple app to track your pets activity throughout the day. Keep track of sleep schedules and see how much sleep your puppy gets every day. Includes widgets that show the daily stats and give you a quick shortcut to start and end activities from your Home Screen. I initially wrote this app after adopting a samoyed puppy called Zelda. She's very energetic and I soon noticed that sticking to a similar schedule every day really helped her having calmer nights. So one night when she kept me awake at 4am I decided to sit down and start coding. A week later and this is the result. I hope it's useful for some of you! I'm happy to hear any feedback.
