This week's Friday Pet Photos slideshow includes more fabulous pets who live in the area.

To see names and hometowns, double click on the slideshow and view it on Flickr.

Next weeks' theme: Pets with their favorite toys. Whether they are sturdy and tough, or pretty beaten up and tattered, most every pet has a treasured toy — and it's as if the pet's whole being changes when he has it near. So, to participate in next weeks' Friday Pet Photos series, email a photo of your fuzzy friend with their favorite toy anytime during the week to ppsa2mi@gmail.com.

Be sure to include the animal's name, age and city or township of residence in the e-mail. Make sure the photo is at least 600 pixels wide and in .jpg format.

We compile each week's photos into a slideshow, which we publish and promote on Fridays here in the Pets section.
