Strike a Pose

“My pets are my children. I have a dog named Jack and two cats named Lola and Pennie. All three are best friends and hate being apart from one another. This picture is of Pennie. I was questioning her choice of sitting position because it wasn’t exactly flattering her figure. After laughing at her for a couple minutes, I grabbed the camera and snapped a few photos. In this photo she  let it all hang out and I thought this is perfect for awkward family photos!”

Reindeer Games

“Yes…This is my family! Christmas 2010. Dad’s eyes are shut…I think he is saying, “maybe if I close my eyes this will all go away!!!” The boyfriends were very good sports!!!!”

Lap Dog

Cattitude

“A few awkward things about this photo:

1. The cat’s name was Chicken.
2. The cat is even in the photo.
3. We were told to look serious, but my younger sister just looks pissed.
4. My brother looks like that in every picture, even today.
5. I thought my glasses were “groovy.”
