I think Dad-to-be is hiding a dog treat under his palm.
I'm sure you've seen the hilarious site Awkward Family Photos by now. I always fall into a fit of laughter when I visit the site. People set beside their family members somehow become so weird and yes ... awkward. Extremely awkward.
Add weird, awkward people into a photo with their much-adored pets and you get something even funnier though -- Awkward Family Pet Photos!
Some of my favorites after the jump.
My best friend, bless her, always includes her dog in the family Christmas card. A neighbor of mine sends out Christmas cards with just a photo of the dog, never him or his family. Of course, I know these kinds of pet photos pretty much fall within the norm.
But then there are the people who take family photos with pets a little too far. Seriously, are these people trying to make me burst a spleen with laughter?

I can't stop laughing at that smiling dog face.

I know honey, let's put the bunny rabbit in the birdbath!

WTF?

Flying squirrels, really?

That cat's face says it all.
Go on over and check out AwkwardFamilyPetPhotos.com. No matter how much you love your pet, you'll be laughing at these wackadoos when you're done.
Do you include your pets in your family photos?

Hahhahahahhahah!!!!
Hahahahahaha. This is great!!!
No, but in elementary, we had "prop photo" day and I chose to pose with a treasure troll. Does that count?
The one with the sugar gliders (not flying squirrels, lol) is pretty cute.
I do include my dog in our Christmas photos, but they aren't as bizarre as some of those. He is just sitting with us and posing. :)
Um...I did have the boxer's picture taken with the baby....I called it Baby & the Boxer...I don't think it was too bad....
no...but those are funny. I love the first one though.
