It has hit that point of the year when the weather starts to turn cold and leaving the warm indoors becomes a challenge.
But pet owners, such as Rachel Morrison in Inverness, understand that no matter the weather our four-legged friends need a little adventure.
And from the excitement in Pet Portrait winner Henry’s sparkling eyes, we can see that Rachel and her beloved companion enjoy their walks together even through the winter.
Not to worry though, there are plenty of other adorable pets worthy of attention in our weekly gallery – including Zip the farm dog and a sleepy Gizmo, who seems quite content to sleep through the season.
Pet Portraits of the week
If you would like to see your pet in the Your Life supplement, please send your high-resolution (good-quality) photographs to pets@dctmedia.co.uk
Please ensure you tell us your pet’s name, your own name and address, and where the picture was taken. There may be a short delay before it appears. Photos must be hi-res to print.
Each week, we will select a winning photograph and the lucky owner will receive a £50 Pets At Home gift card. At a time where costs are increasing, we’d like to make life a little easier for our readers. You can spend the voucher on essentials such as food and bedding, or just spoil your furry friend with a new toy or some tasty treats.
