Photo Gallery: Fun-loving dogs and a squirrel trying to get a break from the heat are featured on this week's Pet Photo Friday

Posted on Fri, Jul 27, 2012 : 6 a.m.

We invite our readers to interact here on the pets section any chance we get, and one thing is evident: people are passionate about their companion animals, no matter what breed they are. And as we see at the end of each week, they like to show off their cute pet photos!

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 a well-traveledcat , a dog who is celebrating a birthday, another who is enjoying his first day of doggie camp and more!

It's all in good fun!

Since we're in the dog days of summer here in the Ann Arbor area, we thought that it would be fun to do a special feature to reflect that. With the heat and endless sun that we've had this season, it can make pets and their humans always under siege by the sandman.

We would love to see your photos of your pets snoozing with their favorite fellow animals — or their humans.

Participating in our weekly photo blog is easy — simply email a photo of your pet catching a few winks 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 1200 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.
