SAY a big welcome to five of our readers’ furry friends
This week we have gone ahead and shone the spotlight on adorable pets, including a bridesmaid pooch, an adorable Yorkshire Terrier, Luna the cat who follows her owner everywhere and a hamster who can’t stop eating.
Maggie, the boxer-spring spaniel-cross, is guilty for being a very loud snorer, but enjoys a good run on the beach with her owner Lily Pope.
However, Maggie was given a good brush and made to look her best as she was one of Lily’s bridesmaids at her wedding.
Luscious Luna loves getting treats, chasing birds but, most of all, her cuddles. She follows her owner Becky around her house in Christchurch like a shadow.
She said: “She follows me everywhere. If I'm in the garden she's with me in the garden and if I'm inside she's inside with me. She’s a very loyal loving cat.”
Weston the Syrian Hamster loves nothing more than chewing things and nibbling away at sunflower seeds.
Sleeping and playing with his toy mouse are Alan’s favourite things to do. His owner adores how much he loves the rest of his family.
Little Teddy loves playfighting, chasing his ball and going for long walks. His owner Lynn Burns is besotted by him, saying he is “cute and faithful”.
Send us pictures of your beloved pets!
Readers are invited to share pictures of their pets with us to be featured online and in print.
