Each week, we relish seeing the enthusiasm that our readers have for sharing photos of their beloved pets — and their ability to capture the essence of each of them.

With the warm temperatures this week, it's likely that there has been plenty of fickle behavior to behold with companion animals.

Weeks like this offer plenty of fun moments with pets. A part of those moments might include plenty of photo opportunities, as always.

Would you like to participate in this week's Pet Photo Friday? You're invited to email a photo of your pets just being themselves to ppsa2mi@gmail.com any time for the weekly feature.

Be sure to include the name of the animal, as well as the pet's age and city or township of residence in your email. Photos should be 600 pixels wide and in .jpg format.

We put the week's photos into a slideshow, and publish and promote them each Friday here in the Pets section.
