After several bombed photos (plus a serious case of the giggles) I decided to move the photo session outside, leaving the cats inside."

It's always fun to see what our readers' lives are like with their own pets and other animals, and there are always interesting stories to tell.
This week, you'll see area dogs and cats doing what they do best — being themselves!
It's all in good fun!
Participating in our weekly photo blog is easy — simply email a photo of your pet to ppsa2mi@gmail.com any time for our weekly Pet Photo Friday feature.
Be sure to include the name of the animal(s), as well as their age and city or township of residence in your email. Photos should be 1,200 pixels wide and in .jpg format.
We put the week's photos into a slideshow, publish and promote each Friday here in the Pets section.
Lorrie Shaw leads the pets section for AnnArbor.com. You can follow her daily pet adventures on Twitter and subscribe to AnnArbor.com's email newsletters.

Just remember dogs cannot stand excessive heat. So keep lots of water and shade at hand. Right now? Lying on the basement floor. Is this heat over yet?

It's cuddling dinner! No, not really. I just couldn't resist.
