Hello everyone and welcome to #ShankYouPets! This is an Instagram community for those of us who love our pets like kids. Link up with me each week using the tag #ShankYouPets and I’ll post my favorites right here every Sunday. You’ll get to enjoy cute animal photos, attract new Instagram followers, and pick up a cool new badge if you are featured!

Lola really wore herself out this week in the heat. She struggles when temperatures climb over 72 degrees, and we hit 97! Napping was the only thing that made her happy this week.

MY FEATURED PHOTOS THIS WEEK

Before I go any further, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has joined us in the community. We’ve had so many new friends drop by recently and the photos are all so awesome, it’s very hard to pick only 3 each week. Keep up the great work!

The first feature this week is Squirrel in the top right. Squirrel is not a pet in the typical definition of the word, but Lola plays pretty fast and loose with the word pet – she thinks I am her pet! Check out Mrs. Tubbs for more photos.

Bottom left is a brand new addition to our community, Iris. She is brand new to the world and she has a spiral tail like a piggy! How adorable is that?! Check out Dad Geek for more photos.

Our final feature is the most adorable doggy face. Big eyes, check. Adorably close to the human, check. Slight ‘please?’ expression, check. I want to give her a treat! Check out Carol’s profile for more photos.

Grab the code at the bottom of the badge if you’d like to add it your blog. Or you can share the featured badge on Instagram by saving the photo!

Now, head on over to Instagram and check out all the adorable animals there. Make sure to follow the ShankYouPets hashtag, it’s a brand new feature in Instagram that makes it easy to see photos from the group without having to follow individual accounts. I would also appreciate you sharing this post on Facebook or Twitter so that more people can join us!
