    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.

    BEST IN SHOW 

    We're not exactly sure how cat shows work, but we think that the prized ribbons were meant to at least go on the show cat and not the owner, right?

    LOVERS QUARREL 

    After hours of feuding about who got to lay across the horse in their engagement photo, the couple settled the decision with a game of rock-paper-scissors. The horse was extremely thankful for the results.

"The Royal Family" is not surrounded by Chihuahuas ... They are surrounded by Papillons. Much like King Louis the XIV, (The Sun King) . I believe their is a similar setting in a portrait of him in the Louvre. There may be one Chihuahua but I would have to say that this Royal family was surrounded by Papillons. Might want to have your edit checked a little better next time.

"The Royal Family"is not surrounded by Chihuahua's ...They are Papillons. A favorite of one of the french kings. I believe it was one of Frances, favorite kings, Louis XIV.. Who had a portrait made of himself in the similar setting. If I am correct the portrait is sitting in the Louvre. Might want to have your copy checked before you post it. It is possible there may be one Chihuahua in the picture. But surrounded by .. NO .. those are Papillons.

The first picture with the Manx is adorable. My Manx makes that face when something really scares her. I call it fat neck.
