Do you have an interesting story about your living pet that you would like to share with readers? We’d love to hear from you. Tell us in 600-900 words, with 3-4 photos (in JPEG format, file size about 1MB, captioned). There is no payment for stories, and we reserve the right to edit all submissions.

Some find it cuddly, but others would never let a dog or cat sleep with them – whether pets are allowed in bed with you is a personal decision.
