IT might have been a tad on the warm side for these gorgeous Hampshire pets this week, but all five adorable cats and dogs are having lots of fun in the sun.
Our featured readers pets this week include a deaf dalmatian who is learning sign language and one magical moggy who was adopted after being abandoned close to a Southampton tower block.
We love putting your friends, feathered and furred or scaly and slimy, in the spotlight.

DUMBLEDORE is one magic moggy. The four-year-old was adopted after being found abandoned outside Dumbleton Towers, Thornhill.
BLUEBELL the eight month old locally-bred dalmatian is deaf and learning sign language.
THIS handsome chap is a touch lazy. Meet five-year-old mini dachshund Chipolata who just loves to sleep.
Pets
FROM doting dogs and cuddly cats to bonny bunnies and huggable hamsters, pets are an enormous part of our lives. Whether it's a four-legged friend, brightly-coloured bird or fascinating fish, they become part of the family. A cherished part of our day to day life. To celebrate the role pets play, we'd love to see your pictures and put them firmly in the spotlight - where they belong. Send us your photos and details here and we'll print as many as we can in the paper and online.
