United States - For many pet owners, a special day isn’t needed to remind them to take photos of their furry family.  But just in case you need an excuse to post to your Facebook page, Friday, July 11th is ALL AMERICAN PET PHOTO DAY!

You can get in on all the fun by dressing up your pets in their finest attire, take him/her to the park, set them in a chair, put them on a fancy pillow or whatever your imagination gives you for a special photo and snap away.  

When you are done, post to Facebook or any social media source and share your pride and joy.

This day is all about the pets, which to most people are an extension of their family.  No matter what photo you take you will end up with some sweet memories to put into a photo album, on the fridge or in a picture frame on your desk at work. 

Shown in the photo is Lilly Loflin at the 4th of July Parade in Dexter.  Lilly is a Dachshund and lives with Jessica Loflin.  She is one of many pets owned by Jessica and her mom.
