Pet portraits: Your pictures of the north of Scotland’s cutest companions!

Beautiful Bosker looks like king of the jungle as he naps in Turriff! Sadly, Bosker has passed away, but the Milne family must have wonderful memories of the majestic lad.

Ah, so it seems there’s something about gorgeous dogs and bluebells… Rufus also can’t resist getting in among the spring flowers during a walk in Evanton with the Calder family.
It’s not just cats and dogs – perfect pets come in all shapes and sizes. Brilliant Billy belongs to lucky 11-year-old Melissa Rae from Aberdeen.
If you ever need a picture to illustrate ‘bursting with pride’, Molly is your girl! She clearly loves visiting Loch Muick with Diane Cosgrove from Aboyne.
So that’s the collective noun for a group of Chihuahuas – a chairful! Honey, Coco, Lola, Bear and Peppy snuggle in with the Norrie Family in Turriff.
If this photo of Bella and Jake is anything to go by, it’s ‘stacks’ of fun living in Kininmonth in Aberdeenshire! The lovely pair stay with Fiona and Lenny Pirie.
How is it even possible for a bed to look that comfy?!? Lucky Lulu enjoys a lounge at the home she shares with Scott Innes in Forres.
“What’s new pussycat?” Handsome Snuggsie looks like he’s entertaining Derek and Alison Ramsay with a song in Kirriemuir.
Erm, Dougal? That’s probably not good for the bluebells… But the Irish goldendoodle makes such a pretty picture in Inverurie, we’re sure Scott Macgregor forgives him.
“If your name’s not down, you’re not coming in…” David and Jessie Rosie have what surely has to be the world’s cutest bouncer in Wick, in the form of seven-year-old cavapoo Ruby.
Let’s be honest. We all wish we could submerge half our bodies in the cooling waters of the North Sea at Kingsbarns beach on a hot day. You go, Ruby, live your best life! Gail Laird owns the joyful girl.
Who’s a good birthday boy, then? Dapper gent Bobby celebrates at Angus Canine Centre and Boarding Cattery near Monifieth. Sadly, Bobby’s owner died but as Bobby had been a regular at the kennels, Greg Donovan, the owner, gave him a home. We’re so happy for you, Bobby!
We are so jealous of this photographer. Clearly, they’re about to be covered in Ellie kisses! Jennifer and Michael McLuskey recently welcomed new son Rowan in Dundee, but think Ellie deserves some time in the spotlight, too, and we’re happy to oblige.
Hmm, we think Pete and Wendy Hylton may have misheard the phrase “put your cards on the table”… Or maybe cats are better on there! Shackleton and Annie certainly seem like a good addition in Thurso.
