But it doesn’t matter to Aimee – George shows her he loves her every day with his beautiful smile. The more we love someone, the harder it is to say goodbye – but when Chelsea’s mum Joanne was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it was a reality she had to face up to (pg40). Despite the heartbreaking prognosis, Joanne lives on…

Cone head My puppy Dave recently took a trip to the vets for a minor op – but now he has to wear this cone of shame on his head. He doesn’t look very impressed! Christie, Surrey Seeing double Here is my lovely cat, Freddie. Despite being a little cross-eyed, I think he is very handsome. However, I also think he knows he’s great. Julie, Cumbria No pictures! Here is a selfie my daughter tried to take with our pup, Peach. She normally loves attention, but it’s safe to say she can also be quite camera-shy. Melissa, Birmingham Sleepyheads My two pooches are super-sleepy after a long winter walk in the woods.
