Warmer temperatures this week are beckoning, and, as most pet owners in the area will say, it's really bring out the funny side of pets — they just want to get out in it!

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. Please 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 and promote each Friday here in the Pets section. Check out past slideshows here.
