Trip's human has this to say:
"This is our newest furbaby, Trip. He was adopted on New Years Eve (2011). He is now 3 months old. He was part of a litter that was left outside a shelter in Tennessee and driven by a pet charity to our own HSHV for a better chance at adoption. He is a wonderful addition to our family (he's lost his southern accent already). He is in a puppy class at the A2 Dog Training Club, and today he accompanied me to the hairdressers while I had my hair cut. He was quite a hit and was wonderfully well behaved." by Linda Alvira

This week, we were so glad once again see the enthusiasm that our readers have for sharing their photos of their beloved pets — and their ability to capture the essence of each of them.
Companion animals have a unique way of making us smile, and you'll get the chance to see a bunch of cute critters this week — the youngest members of our readers' families. It's a fun way to end your week!
Participating in our weekly photo blog is easy — simply email a photo of your pet, just being him or herself, 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.
