My SIL created a FB page for her dog

[sneetch]

And it's not a joke.

The description says: XXXX the schnoodle, born XX/XX/2010, wants to share her adventures with everyone who loves her. So her mommy created this page for her.

There are posts like this dating back to mid-May, when it was created:
Daddy and i had a great day at the park! i ran in the field, swam against the current in the river and got covered in ticks!! now its time for bellies and naps. good night!!

I had lots of fun last night at my grandparents' house. And today I get to play with Daddy! Oh I hope we go to the park!


I'm embarrassed for her.

I keep considering making one for SwaggerCat.
However, it would NOT be this kind.

My.... mom did this. She loves that damn dog more than me, lol. I'm totally serious.

Facebook pet pages have to be funny.  Otherwise, there is no point.

Yeah. I had a gig once that involved finding people like that. Facebook is one thing. You should entire blogs written from the prospective of a dog. There are a lot.

Yes
I have seen some really well done ones and I love them. None of that "Daddy took me to the park" bullcrap.

My friend did this for his French bulldog. I love how he posts regularly that kids and babies ruin your life and how awful they are and how annoying people are who post about their kids. Then he makes a FB and Instagram account for his dog.

We have one for one of our pets, and it is obviously a joke.

Someone on my fb feed sent me friend requests for her dogs, cat, and two hedgehogs. Yes. I got 5 friend requests from pets.

My dad made a facebook for our dog and I thought it was totally ridiculous. It was actually nice to look through after he (the dog) had died since my dad posted videos.

How can *I* get paid to do this?

[circa1978]

That was only one part of the challenge Ohhmm(bligo). The second part was getting them to admit it to me and letting me interview them in a nationally distributed magazine and online about their bond with their dog. It was a lot of the digital version of cold calling. The technique that actually worked the best was "talking to the dog." Like - "Hi Bonkers! I see that you and Molly really love hanging out in LA together. I loved the picture of you guys at the park. I'm working on an article about XXXX, and I think you'd be great to feature. Sincerely, Circa."

I was going to do this for Nika. Sometimes she wants to like things. Or share about her day.

I made a MySpace page for my dog about 10 years when I was sick in bed and bored. You wouldn't believe the amount of friend requests he got from other Pekingese. I remember my SIL saying something to the effect of aint nobody got time for that. Now she's 32 and has an active Facebook for her boxer. I guess it's super cool after all.

I think the OP is mean. I am going to insist on being crazy about Nika though. She is so lovable. She crawled up on the bed at 3:30 this morning just to snuggle.

While I know I wouldn't create a FB page for Willow since I hate FB since it is pretty much my dealer for Candy Crush, I may or may not have uploaded videos of her to YouTube and may or may not have given her a weekly photo post on my blog.

And elle Willow is a champion snuggler too. One morning I woke up holding her paw while she smooshed her forehead on my neck.
