What Pets Do While You're At Work, by Bergund & West

An "unauthorized album of caught-in-the-act pet photos," What Pets Do While You're At Work, is a brand new photo album-style book that may make you doubt that your pet merely sleeps all day in your absence. The photographs of obese cat, Bubble, who "tries to get motivated to do her crunches" while lying flat on her back with her 4 paws in the air and Speedy the turtle with a shark fin strapped to his back alone make this book worthwhile. Especially enjoyable for 40-somethings (oblique references to the Doublemint twins, the Jefferson Airplane, Ronnie and Nancy, etc.), this collection of riotous pet photos and silly captions really does, as Bergund & West say in their dedication, "remind us every day how to live each moment to the fullest, especially when no one's looking."
