Long breed names are causing tweets to go over 140 characters #30

"Status is over 140 characters" error is causing some animals to not be tweeted. This is because some of the breeds (and resulting hashtags) are too long. An example is "American Staffordshire Terrier."

Need to add some checks lengths of hashtags to prevent long tweets.

I added some "sanitation" to remove some words and characters, but we still need to add some checks for really long breed names.
