THIS year will never be forgotten due to the coronavirus pandemic forcing the country into lockdown, but it has been an enjoyable period for our pets.
They have been spoilt, with them getting more treats and time with their owners than ever before.
Some have taken advantage of the hot south Essex weather by going into the garden and making a splash in paddling pools, while others have lounged around the house.
