Animal Planet Overload

Roxy is addicted to Animal Planet. She believes everything she sees on there, including the shows where they talk about real-life Big Foot and things like that. Her goal in life, as of Monday, is to be an animal cop in Miami. And she dreams of living in the Duggar house, but that is from a whole other reality show. But anyway...

Her latest incarnation of creativity is to act out all of the pet contestants on Pet Star. Pet Star has a host that used to be on an eighties teen sitcom, it has three judges from the Hollywood D-list, but it has regular American folk that bring their pets to perform a cool trick for the studio audience and judges' panel. Sometimes the pets are amazing, and sometimes they do the corniest acts EVER. Roxy loves the corny acts the most. She acts them out in the living room, narrating everything as she goes. And she will also recount the whole thing again at dinner - something to look forward to (again.)

This momma has had a little too much Animal Planet as well, because when Roxy starts acting like all these animals, I start acting like the dog trainer from It's Me Or the Dog. Her name is Victoria and she knows how to train anything. So, when Roxy is doing dog tricks, I correct her with a Victoria command and send her to go wee. Roxy loves it.

I guess for some people this may seem normal, but I am pretty sure it's not. It means we have a Animal Planet OD. Call the animal cops!

  1. This needs a Facebook command of "I like this!". Very entertaining. But now I want to know why she would like living with the Duggars.
