Great idea. My original plan envisioned something like:

  - I text into her number while out of the house
  - Twilio sends HTTP request to Arduino 
  - Piezo buzzer sounds 
  - Kaira has to hold the button for X seconds
  - Servo rotates auto treat dispenser
In the end, simplicity won out. That said, those are far from insurmountable challenges.

But the overly ambitious title remained.
