We all love our pets - for some of us lucky enough to have an animal companion, they might well become the most loyal friend a person could want for. But occasionally, our pets let us down, stress us out or just plain embarrass us. When puppies choose the wrong moment to get amorous with a vicar's leg, or when Harry the Tarantula decides to say hello to your seriously arachnophobic Aunty Beryl. Alternatively, you also hear stories of when people move house and their cats miraculously make their own way to the new home.

Yes, this week we want your funny and heartwarming stories about When Pets Shame or Amaze Us.

We need to stress here that we are in no way looking for anecdotal evidence of cruelty to animals. Save that for the RSPCA, okay?
