Famille Du Pentium

Marla has one of those phones that lets you assign ring tones based on who is calling you (by their caller ID).  She goes to the Skokie Dog Park many nights per week, and has a regular clatch of friends who meet there with her.  The usual evening routine is, around the time I start getting the kids ready for bed, she starts getting phone calls from her Dog Park friends, and then she bundles up and takes Eeyore to the park. 

The thing is, Eeyore has figured out that certain ring tones mean, soon he’s going to the Dog Park.  And now whenever he hears those ring tones, whereever he is, he starts howling and barking to get inside, so he can get his collar on.
