Sorry - there has been a technical thing and I will run this competition for two more weeks.

The first Pet Idol of the year is Why I love my Pet. We´ll need a nice original photo and a one line explanation of why they are so special.

We have 4 fantastic books to give away to the top four entries from our friends at Ebury Publishing.

The top two entries will win a beautiful Human Planet book worth £25. Have you seem the new BBC Human Planet series - it really is fantastic?

The next two will win a copy of No Place like Home by Pen Farthing. Whilst serving in Afghanistan sergeant Pen Farthing provided a safe-haven to a number of local dogs at his military base. Having grown close to the dogs during his tour of duty, Pen knew that when it came to the time to head home, he wouldn’t be able to leave them behind. This is the moving story of his efforts to bring them home.

The winners of the four brilliant dog (or cat) beds from our friends at Addicare went to Marcy Roberts, K9 (Dom), Jo Owen and Claire (End BSL). E-mail me your addresses please.

Remember winners are not just based on their chart position but also on whether they have an interesting caption, the statistics and the quality and originality of the photo that is a fresh one, not one you´ve entered before.

Closing date for Why I love my Pet - 1st April.
