The past few days have been a time of change when it comes to our weather, and much of it has not been exactly ideal for outdoor fun. In fact, it's been a great time to hunker down and find things to do indoors — and that goes for companion animals, too!

Knowing that there are many fun-loving pets that live in and around our area, we're anxious to see what you've been up to. Why not submit a favorite photo of your pet?

Perhaps you got a fun photo of your dog relishing a "chew party." Did you capture your favorite feline catching a few winks?

Any pet or animal in the family is welcome in the slideshow we feature each Friday.

In continuing our ongoing Friday Pet Photos feature, we invite you to email a photo of your companion animal to ppsa2mi@gmail.com, any time during the week.

Participating in this fun feature is easy — simply include your companion animal's name, age and city or township of residence in your email. Be sure that your photos are 1200 pixels wide and in .jpg format.

We put the week's photos into a slideshow, publish it and promote it each Friday here in the Pets section. Check out past slideshows here.
