I know I said I wasn't a clothing-loving pup, but this chilly weather has turned me into a shivering, whiney baby! Mom and I went shopping and she bought me a couple sweaters to wear around the house. I haven't been playing outside as much either, which is a bummer, but when the sun comes out we try to head to the park for a quick game of fetch.
For the most part though, my family's been hanging IN, spending quality time with each other. The other day, a package came for Mom. She opened it and pulled out a book with a funny picture on the cover.
She sat on the couch for an hour, reading it and laughing by herself. (weirdo) That evening, curious Dad saw the book on the coffee table and started flipping through it. Within 5 minutes, he was hysterically crying...tears of laughter! WHAT is this book, you ask? Awkward Family Pet Photos by Mike Bender and Doug Chernack! It's a spinoff of the popular website
www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com, which at one point a couple years ago kept Mom entertained for days and days. But this book's better because it incorporates families and their pets! Check out their website
www.awkwardfamilypetphotos.com for a sneak peek.
Mom and Dad love the book because it makes them laugh. Me? I love it because it's reassuring to know my family isn't the only wacky pet-loving family out there. The book was released today, and would make a GREAT gift for any animal lovers in your life. Maybe some day I'll feel comfortable enough to post an awkward photo of my family, but for now, I'll just leave you with an awkward photo of me in my new sweater...
P.S. Our friends at Random House were kind enough to send us a copy of the book to review, but aside from that, we weren't compensated in any way.
You look adorable in your new sweater, Butters!
ReplyDeleteI used to check that Awkward Family Photos website regularly. It kept me entertained for hours! I also like the People of Walmart site too.

You look so nice in your new sweater! We'll have to take a look at that book. Mom needs a good laugh right about now! :o)
ReplyDeleteHello Butters. I can tell you when I was much smaller I really felt the cold too and mum bought me two jumpers and I loved them. That book sounds great. Mum sometimes laughs on her own while reading. These peeps sure can be weird. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteHI Butters
ReplyDeleteI miss being outside also. During the storm last week, I insisted my mom take me out. When I got to the top step I changed my mind in a hurry. She tried to tell me but I just wouldn't listen.
I got a new coat too. I can't say I'm thrilled at putting it on, but it does keep me warm.
How many more days till Spring???
I love the website awkward family photos, but now with pets is such a plus!! I know all too many ppl to gift this for the season. xx
ReplyDeleteOh Butters, you are just adorable. I have two little shih tzus and one of them, Sugar, loves to wear her sweaters on cold days, but Meeka thinks she is too much of a big girl to wear a sweater! This year will be different though because we have moved from Missouri to Arizona. I don't think it will get cold enough for them to wear their sweaters. Anyway, you are just as precious as you can get.
ReplyDeleteoh your just cute as a little button! i just finished writing a review on the same book! My mommy is a total wierdo and was laughing by herself at her desk at work before she came home and shared it with me and my sisters!

ReplyDeleteOhno and Joy have to stay dressed when the temperatures drop. Mom says at 4 and 5 pounds, they can't maintain their body heat. They don't like it too much, but mom seems to enjoy dressing them too much! They have more clothes than she does at this point. I sure am glad that they don't make many clothes for dogs my size!! BOL!
ReplyDeleteAROOOOOF!

First of all, I can't get over how you are!! I have a yorkie and he's adorable, but there's just something about a yorkie poo... Anyways, it looks like a funny book your mom has there! I'm sure everyone has a little wackiness in them and in their family.. it's actually something to be celebrated, as your book shows! Can't wait to hear more about you and your family's adventures together!
