She's making a list, CHICKEN it twice (sorry!), but whether she'd been naughty or nice, Blossom was crowned as one of our Pet Of The Month champions! 🐔📜🎁

Donning an knitted Santa suit complete with matching hat, Blossom was a shoe in to become December's winner! 🎅✨

November - Diane Bell and Super Bobbie

According to owner Diane, Super Bobbie had his work cut out for him this November, coming up his greatest arch-nemesis... fireworks! But with his mask and cape in place, the plucky pup powered on through the worst of the booming and banging, with his confident stance an expression of "Fireworks? What fireworks!" according to Diane. 🎇🐕💪

October - Kim Mandy Lowther and Lucky

Clearly not content with flying, Lucky's taken to the road with her impressive set of wheels, complete with chrome rims and butterfly doors!

Owner Kim's entry certainly raises a few questions - how exactly does a bird-based driving test work? Is it difficult to work a steering wheel with wings? Can Lucky's claws really reach the pedals? 🚗🛣️

September - Margaret Payne and Willow

According to owner Margaret, this gorgeous golden girl loves nothing more than taking the contents of their home outside (including a rather unfortunate rubber duck) and swapping them for bits of the back garden! 🦆🏡

August - Annette Slater & Pika

The adorable face! The tiny paws! The gaze that brings a whole new meaning to Puppy Dog Eyes! Who could resist the charm of Pika and his stylish bandana? 🐕💓

To top it off, Pika makes a great pal for Annette's son, who upon saying the magic words "Where's my baby?" will be greeted by the plucky pup running to meet him after school. 🐶🧒

July - Donna Petrie and Stick

Fully articulated and complete with a range of realistic meowing catchphrases, Barbie certainly seems to be a little hairier these days! 💇‍♀️🐾

June - Nichola Paige Smith

Nichola's entry was snapped as she introduced her eldest cat to his new baby sibling, and even though the new kid on the block seems pretty excited, it doesn't look as though the feeling is mutual! 🐈💢🐈

May - Jane Blake & Stumpy

With Stumpy having always slept on his back, Jane's daughter decided to fix up a pillow and blanket for the literature-loving lizard, which appears to have gone down a treat! Add in the dinky dictionary and you've got one refined reptile! 📚🛌

April - Jennifer Carroll, Miss Snowy & Toby

When it comes to this rabbit relationship, it's clear that Miss Snowy wears the tiny trousers, practically putting poor Toby into a headlock to focus on her own preening after he approached her for a wash. 👅🐇

According to Jennifer, needy Toby wishes he was the dominant one, but as the video shows, he's still got a way to go before Miss Snowy returns the favour! 💪👀

March - Sophie Barnett & Chip

With his rosy red cheeks and perfectly-styled quiff, Chip certainly knows how to work the camera, and after learning how to deliver the perfect wolf whistle, owner Sophie tells us that he's good to have around for the occasional self esteem boost too! ❤️✨

February - Emma Morgan & Leo

Looking more like a cuddly jungle cat than your average canine companion, Leo has been patient and welcoming to new baby sister Luna, who seems to be in awe of her big brother's lion-esque likeness! 🦁🦁🦁

January - Steph Toogood & Gibbs

Clearly a fan of the January sales, Gibbs ended up with more than he bargained for in his trolley this year, picking up a heap of rodent responsibility in the process! 🛒🐀🛍️

Pet of the month november god and duck.jpg

December - Caroline Harrison & James

This protective pooch clearly doesn't let the absence of fur and the addition of feathers stand in the way of him being an excellent big brother to his slightly smaller sisters Maggie & Ruth, with the unlikely trio snuggling up on the sofa for this adorable snap!

November - Becca Jude Sanders & Lucy

This one-year old Romanian-born pup has had a rough start after being found wandering the streets with wire wrapped tightly after her back legs, but, thanks to new owner Becca, things are changing! After a successful adoption process, involving vaccinations and quarantine, Lucy is heading to a loving home here in the UK!

October - Charlotte Davison & Waffles

After almost losing an ear to a rival rabbit during an intense bunny-on-bunny battle, Waffles was whisked to the vets where the talented team were able to pull her back from the brink when her heart stopped during the amputation. After being resuscitated, Waffles showed her fighting spirit by pulling through and going on to adjust to life as a one-eared bun.
