Amazing Picture of the Day

by Prongs on January 21, 2010

This photo will force you to do two things, in this order:

1) Softly gasp and mutter “Awesome.”

2) Yawn.

I fought the yawn for about 30 seconds, but it was relentless and finally overtook me.

[I fought the yawn and the, yawn won - Ed.]

Sitting here healing from knee surgery from yesterday, and this made me laugh out loud, very loud. Thanks for that. It got an impressed “oh WOW” from my hubby…

(Amazingly, I did not yawn. But that picture is awesome.)

18 enting85 01.21.10 at 8:08 am

*huh*- first I tought: “What? Another stupid werewolf thing?” but a second later… LOL!!!

19 thepetmuseum 01.21.10 at 8:16 am

well it’s first thing in the AM so I was yawning anyway but…not that awesomely!

20 bee bee 01.21.10 at 8:29 am

i’m a fool for the animal instincts.

21 Kristabelle 01.21.10 at 8:49 am

I am woman, hear me roar!!

22 Ray 01.21.10 at 8:50 am

I find it amusing how dogs and cats seem to turn inside-out when they yawn.

23 Hon Glad 01.21.10 at 8:56 am

What a hoot. I wonder, was it carefull positioning or a lucky accident. My cats do a lot of yawning at me so I fake yawn back. I don’t know what they are saying in Catish, other than
“Where’s our bleedin food, you’ve been home for twenty seconds, and you haven’t served it yet”.

24 Becky, Bubba's mum 01.21.10 at 9:31 am

Pommie? Pommie yawns are wide-jawed and impressive. Even when puppies, their open mouths resemble crocodiles. Or a wide-mouth bass.

25 DogEared 01.21.10 at 9:44 am

1) done.
2) done.

26 Portie Mom 01.21.10 at 9:54 am

Either a lion or a Shetland Sheepdog.

Yawn.

27 Mud Bug 01.21.10 at 10:02 am

Hellooooooooooooooooo

28 Elisha B. 01.21.10 at 10:14 am

(cough) wiping my computer screen off ……me thinks the lady needs a shave! No seriously, this could one of those great sideshow attractions at the fair…..

“Step right up ladies and gentlemen, see the spectacular yawning lady of fluff-a-tude. The most amazing site to see as she yawns and drinks an entire bottle of water at the same time…. Step right up folks, only one dollar to observe such a unusual creature of our time…step right up……”

Too cute!
