With most families now finished with winter break, its time to get back to school and work — and back into the day-to-day routine. It was an eventful week, with wild weather and lots of snow — and we're sure lots of fun outdoor activities involving the family pets. Were things like sledding, snowshoeing and making snowmen part of your winter break activities with your companion animals? Did you get a chance to ride your horse?

In continuing our ongoing weekly photo slideshow, Friday Pet Photos, we invite you to email a photo of your furry, feathered (or otherwise) friend — with or without their people in them — enjoying the season, to ppsa2mi@gmail.com, any time during the week.

Please include your pet'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.
