[Readers, a survey! If you're blogging not about your crazy kids, but your crazy husband, what does that make you? a bitch? a hubbyblogger?]
Let me first say that I am not opposed to personalized ringtones unless they’re stupid or they annoy me.
I, in fact, have a few special ringtones because how can you NOT have the Partridge Family’s I Think I Love You as a ringtone if such an option exists in the Universe??
But, let us set the scene, shall we?
The Hubs loves Becca, our wire-haired pointing griffon (Who’s the most beautiful girl? Who is!? Who is?! Guess who used to be before we got the dog…).
However, we can’t all be perfect like moi just like he doesn’t especially care for my crunching, the Hubs doesn’t like her barking.
A dog? Barking?? What the what?! Color me outraged.
Against my protests, he got her this evil torture device!
A Bark Collar!
Shock treatment on the World’s Most Beautiful Girl??!
By now, you’re probably ahead of me, but imagine my shock when I heard the Hub’s new cell phone ringtone for all incoming calls:
A BARKING DOG.
Pardon me?!
(If the neighbor’s dog isn’t enough, You can go listen here — Barking Dog Ringtone ( Mobile4arab.com ).mp3)
Why would he voluntarily do such a thing?!
His answer?
…because he loves her!
Un-freakin-believable!
Am I missing something here?! Somebody needs to explain this to me…

Ever go to wikihow.com? I was searching for ideas on how to hide tattoos fun children’s activities when I stumbled on this: How to Sew a Cloak for Your Cat.
Or, as I like to think of it, A Modern Suicide Modality.
I had a roommate who dressed her cats up for every holiday. Yes, little Joey and Chandler clearly wanted to die loved it.
But even she bought the outfits. She wasn’t so foolish as to tailor clothes to those beasts.
There must be a special subcategory of cuckoo eccentric cat lovers–those who make clothes for their cats?.
I know, you cat people seem practically pleased when you’re petting your fuzzy friend, who is purring away, appearing happy, and suddenly for no reason you get bit! Oh, ha, he just does that sometimes…
What?
(It’s intriguing the bleeding suffering you will head into endure when you love something, isn’t it?)
Can you imagine what would happen in the dog world equivalent? Pet-pet-pet-CHOMP! …Uh, Rover, how about a trip to “the farm”??
Anyway, for those masochist cat owners, this cloak-making project is right up your alley.
You get to do things like measure your cat from the back down the legs, from the neck to tail, and all around the neck. And I’m sure that will go well.
After you’ve applied band-aids, you cut and sew the cloak, and then yes, put elastic around the neck just to keep Muffy from ripping it into shreds in 3 seconds it looking smart.
If you look at the instructions page, the finished product is shown on…what’s that? 
Yes! A person’s arm.
Which, turns out, is perfect for covering up all those bloody scratch and bite marks.
Am I missing anything?
In sum, dogs, clearly superior, yes?
Or, do we just endure a less bloody different suffering in the canine crowd?
Nah, clearly superior.

Sure, by now you’ve seen the tiny, sneezing baby panda, but have you seen a black and white fuzzy version of my allergy attack of an adult panda sneezing fit?
I confess my 7 going on 27 year old told me about it. The police grandparents will be glad to know her online video searching skills have greatly improved this summer and she now knows the words to Last Friday Night by Katy Perry.
Should people really be laughing? Poor panda. Maybe someone should get him a Zyrtac?
Oh, go ahead. We’re laughing with him…right?

OK, let this be a lesson to you all.
Be as clear as possible when stating to the Universe what you want.
Sure, I may have said, “It’d be great to have a couple of extra bucks right about now, Universe.”
But I didn’t mean this:
Or this:
But the Hubs didn’t load fast enough they are handsome, aren’t they?
Need a couple extra bucks?
