    Being forced to take a photo with your family is always uncomfortable, with the cheesy poses, dorky matching outfits and forced smiles. When you throw a pet in the mix, things get even more awkward. Click through to see some of the snazzy pics Awkward Family Pet Photos has dug up, but don't let your mom see or else she might get some "good ideas." And don't forget to check out their new iPhone app.

I hope that kid didn't offer up his finger to that squirrel. The results can be painful.

A bird or small cat or dog should be the only pets allowed.
