Behind The Awkwardness

Headstrong

“This is a photo of my daughter Kate holding Petunia with a hamster ball stuck on her head. My daughter got ths cute hamster as a birthday present. It came with a cage, food, water bottle etc, and this ball. We put the hamster in it to use it then we washed it and put it away. It must have dropped on the ground because the next thing I hear is something hitting the walls of our hall. There is Petunia with her head jammed in the ball wildly running around trying to get it off. It had the hamster’s smell still in it and she is one curious pug…Thank God the thing had air holes!”

Smile It’s 2012!

“Just after a cold March 2006 blizzard on our acreage in Remsen, Iowa, I put scarfs on my horses Flash, Piper & Magic. They then were looking at me with my camera & Piper smiled real big! Guess she’s glad for her home, friends, & winter scarfs!”

Behind The Awkwardness: Petpourri

“This is a photo of my family and its menagerie (ferret, snake, cat, dog) circa 1985. Less than a year later, we added a pig to the mix, and our childhood also included at various points a goat, raccoons, iguanas, chameleons, ponies, mice, rats, too many small lizards to count and at least one bird that was killed by a ferret.

The best parts of this picture are the expression of sheer misery on my then 14-year-old sister’s face, and the averted look of embarrassment worn by Missy, the matriarch Labrador.”

Behind The Awkwardness: Strange Encounter

“This picture is of my ancestor. My family would go visit Montana from Minnesota. The Montana family was much more tough than the Minnesota family including the boy in this picture. He was a tough little kid until he came around the corner and met Cindy the family monkey.”
