You know how it is. Your mom buys you something, and it’s totally the wrong thing, but you don’t want to hurt her feelings and so you pretend to actually love it.

That’s what happened recently, when the mom of a Twitter user named @paetonmathes bought a new bed for her dog Kenny. The bed turned out to be a little on the small side (OK, a LOT on the small side!), but Kenny did his best to look grateful by posing with his “awesome” new gift for a number of clearly awkward photographs. They were recently tweeted by Kenny’s human sister and they’ve since been shared over 60k times and liked by more than 135k people. Kenny has since received a new bed (one that he can fit more than just his ass on), but this stoic pooch should remind us all just how to act the next time we get a crappy gift from mom. Remember it’s the thought that counts!
