PEOPLE LOVE THEIR PETS.

SOME PEOPLE LOVE THEIR PETS
A LITTLE TOO MUCH.


Who could blame Mr. Whiskers for trying to high-dive from a penthouse window or Fluffy for crawling into a washing machine? After being dressed up for Halloween, married off in elaborate weddings, toted everywhere in baby backpacks, or just plain coddled within an inch of their sanity by obsessively doting owners, these pets are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Or worse. They’d call the suicide hotline–but they don’t have fingers.

I bought this as a gag gift for my sister's 30th birthday party. It wasn't much money, how wrong could I go? The more I thought about it the more I thought, "You just wasted ten bucks." Ten bucks that could go towards gas, or lunch, or...how wrong I was. It was the hit of her birthday party. Guests were flipping through it all night long, repeating captions back and forth. Afterwords it received the coveted place of honor, the bathroom. I'm not sure how you could regret buying this, and I say that about practically nothing. However, I did get the gift wrapping, $2.99 I think was the price. I was there when she opened it, kinda embarassing. Really cheap looking. But it worked because the book is a joke, why not the packaging? Still if that's not your cup of tea, skip the gift wrap.

When I bought this book I did so with the idea it would be a good gift for an animal lover I know.
When I received it and read it, I changed my mind. It's just not that funny and I kept it myself to
put in a garage sale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Cute and Funny for the Sarcastic Person
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2012

I purchased this as a gift for Christmas but when it came saw that there were a couple of "adult" language choices. I wish I'd known as it wasn't appropriate for the person I was buying it for. I did have someone else on my list who would appreciate it though so I did a quick switch. I wish the description had mentioned the words. They weren't horrible, they just wouldn't be appropriate for the specific individual I had picked it out for.

this silly little book makes me LOL whenever i pick it up and browse through it. the seemingly facile jokey captions are actually sort of brilliant, i think. this is a great gift book for pet lovers, i think. and even people without pets (i don't have pets. but my brother is a pet lover, so i bought it for him). it's the sort of book you might find at urban outfitters when you're looking for something fun to buy someone. only it's better than most of the crap there.

There are definitely funny photos in this book, but there are many that aren't. As a designer myself, I found this book very sloppy. It was not what I was expecting. Some of the quotes were a little distasteful too. I thought it would be slightly more family friendly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Often crude and disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2010
Verified Purchase
I was drawn to the book by the title and the photos of animals who look ridiculous in various costumes or situations their owners put them in. I was expecting more family-friendly content, but was disappointed by the sometimes R-rated, often vulgar captions that the author has written for each photograph. I thought this might be something I could share with my kids, but I don't even want it in my collection of silly books. The profanity definitely didn't make it more funny, and it was totally unnecessary and inappropriate.
