While many have endured long commutes and treacherous roads, there's also been plenty of fun been had in the snow - and that goes for pets too.

We've been deluged with pictures from readers of their animals having a great time in the winter weather - though some have been less impressed than others.

We loved this picture of sent in by Jayne Rowell of her rescue dog Millie and her new friend Snowy!

Meanwhile Susan Douthwaite's cat Muffin was content to shelter in an igloo - though some of you have sent in pictures of cats keener to play in the snow.

Thanks for all the pictures so far, we're still going through them and will be using them in print and online.
