Willie the relaxed year-old spaniel has clearly mastered the art of chill. The handsome fella lives in Dundee with Jessica Sim.
Glamour, poise, steely gaze… And The Kelpies are pretty impressive, too! Three-year-old Summer, who has recently been rehomed, lives with lucky owner Matt Donn in Alford.
Winning a cat staring contest means you’re in charge? We guess Elaine Wilkinson’s Felix from Banff is now pets editor!
Squeak! We are so jealous of Shannon Laird in Aberdeen, who gets to cuddle tiny Luna rather than just imagining it, like we can’t stop doing!
Stunning silver tabby Suzie lives in Ellon, but enjoyed staying with her granny in Avoch. Moira Anderson’s rescue cat seems to be rediscovering her jungle roots among the plants.
What are you trying to work out, Ellie? The wonderfully expressive four-year-old was rescued from Aberdeen SSPCA and now lives in Dufftown. The lucky girl looks the picture of health and happiness, thanks to Willie Mainland.
Excellent! We love a game of Where’s Wallace?Spotted him! Wallace’s golden fur blends in with the leaves during a visit to Lindores Abbey, Newburgh, Fife, with Drew McKenzie Smith.
What’s your favourite thing about spring? Warmer weather? Sunshine? Daffodils? Ours is pets outshining flowers! Gorgeous Jasper lives with Jillian Schofield in Arbroath.
Sometimes, magical things emerge from the mist… Black Lab Reya looks ethereal on an Inverbervie evening with Amelie Jackson.
Awesome Ollie is more than a pretty face. He visits Grub Fresh Food in Aberdeen with Pamela Shand as part of his training as a Therapet.
Zana and Cooper look pretty pleased with the new ‘toy’ they’ve rounded up in Westhill. We think we’ll leave the game of fetch to Savannah Hesketh though…
We could just fall into those soulful eyes… We really want to know what Dileas was thinking during a visit to Friockheim Park with Melanie Thirde.
