We never tire of seeing the images that our readers send in each week for Pet Photo Friday, and we know that this week will be no exception.

Early summer is a popular time for new puppies and kittens to join their equally excited families, and there are usually tons of photographs taken in those first few weeks and months. Whether they are taken by adults or kids, they always convey the magic that happens.

Do you have photos of your puppy or kitten, past or present? We'd love to see them, if you're willing to share!

In continuing our ongoing Friday Pet Photos feature, we invite you to email a photo of your puppy or kitten 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 600 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.
