4.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons, September 22, 2010

This review is from: Bad Dog Page-A-Day Calendar 2011 (Calendar)

I've been getting these calendars every year for my mom as a holiday gift, who like me, LOVES dogs. She saves the pages she's torn off during the week so when I come to visit, she shares them with me. Most of the photos are adorable and show just how far a dog will go to please it's owner. My parents and I have many laughs, "oohs" and "awes" looking at these pictures. But sometimes, the captions go a bit too far with inappropriate sexual innuendoes. We try to overlook those and just enjoy the photos instead. Also, the binding glue does not allow for a clean, neat removal of the pages, if you wish to keep any. They seem to tear off very uneven and destroys the top of the page, no matter how far into the calendar you go.

We have decided to get the 2011 version so the cons do not outweigh the pros in whether or not we want to enjoy another year of the Bad Dog Page-A-Day Calendar. I would not really recommend this calendar for young children (who are able to read).

4.0 out of 5 stars Not "bad" so much as silly, but adorable nonetheless!, January 2, 2007

Anything with animals being silly is likely to win a place in my heart. The photos are great, the captions are too. I wish the photos were in color (like on the front of the box)... but since these are like "mug shots" for these "bad" pooches, I guess creators thought the black & white to be most appropriate.
