Buttons is a big fan of snow, especially sticking his face in it. He’s also a fan of just posing in general for any photo.

This is my daughter’s dog Roo, who I regularly take out for walks. He was on Santa’s naughty list last year as he was caught nibbling on a Christmas gonk. He’s keeping his paws crossed he can resist the urge this festive season as there’s a nice juice bone at stake!

Ted, Judey (Production Editor)
