Is your pet a Christmas cracker?

Do you have a festive feline or a horse that’s in the holiday spirit?
If the answer’s yes, then why not enter them into our Festive Pets Competition?
Sponsored by Rooke’s Pet Products, the winner will be the pet that judges think shows the most Christmas spirit.
Whether you have a Christmassy cat, a merry mutt, a festive fish or a holiday-loving hamster, we want to see your photos.
So, what are you waiting for? Get your pet in the Christmas spirit and then get snapping.
The winner will receive  a £100 voucher to spend at Rooke’s Pet Products in Spalding.
Last year’s winner was Cocker Spaniel Sammy,owned by Sarah Wells, of Piccard Drive, Spalding.
Picked as runners-up were rescue Terrier Lucky, owned by Katie Millington, of London Road, Spalding, and five-year-old ginger cat Tomson, who was dressed as a reindeer and owned by Isabel Ferris, of Saltern Drive, Spalding.
We will be featuring all this year’s entries in the paper throughout December and the winner will be announced on January 5.
