LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The next time someone reaches for photos and offers: "Let me show you some pictures of my little darlings," you might be surprised who's mugging for the camera.

According to a recent Associated Press-Petside.com poll, nearly half (45 percent) of all pet owners say they carry around photos of their pets.....

Not necessary to carry pictures in a wallet anymore - that’s what cell phone pictures are for...same with watches, why wear a watch when your phone is right there with the time.

Lightening the wallet load helps lessen back problems.
No watch...less likely to get hung up on something to harm your arm.
Same theory as rings when you are working on machinery.

45% of folks would probably say that the only “being” that shows them unconditional love, is their pet. Of course, that is only because the pet cannot talk, and truly express their feelings...

“sir, you annoy me, but if licking your hand feeds me, so be it”.... “I’m not purring because I like you, I’m doing that as meditation so that I may continue to survive being cooped up in this stinky, overheated mobile home, being fed gawd knows what from a can imported from China..”

I’m using the word “gay”, in the terms of “lame”. You are retired ... aren’t you?

I carry around pictures of my favorite socks.

And my collection of fire hydrant photos.

They're a gas at parties.

“None if I am captured the enemy might get information.”

Interestingly, when I was in the IAF, we were forbidden to have anything of a personal nature with us for that reason (including family photos, etc).

"They're a gas at parties."

I like having gas at parties.

One of my favorite things is to stroll around the room, leaving "Silent-But-Deadly" calling cards in groups of two or three, so that people will start looking askance at one another.

My usual preparation involves a sack of White Castles, or a big plate of Serbian Cevapci with raw onion.

My old moonshinin’ great uncle (RIP) used to carry around a National Geographic picture in his wallet that came with one whopper of a first-wife story.

“I have pics of my husband, kids, the house and the dog.”

Why, can’t you remember what they look like?

Phones (and wallets) are too easy to lose. I prefer to keep any lose to a minimum.

LOL!

When I worked at Dow Chemical, there was an engineer who delighted in leaving those "calling cards" in the elevators.

I quickly learned that if I saw Doug getting off of an elevator I was waiting for, taking the stairs wasn't such a bad idea.

I don’t carry any photos. Never have probably never will.

This so funny. I made up a little photo album of our dogs’ pictures for my wife to carry in her purse. If anyone tries to inflict us with pictures of their ankle biters, we can retaliate with dog pictures.

I'm embarrassed by this, but for our Christmas card we wanted to mock all that is holy, so we had our cats on the card too.

And our cats are UGLY.
