Dogs must be delighted, and cats presumably less so, that some owners are able to spend more time with them than ever before.
In response to these strange times we asked you to send us pictures of your furry friends in lockdown.
Some have opted to sunbathe in the garden, while others have buddied up to get up to no good.
Do you have a favourite picture of these pets in lockdown across Portsmouth and the surrounding areas?
You can send your pet lockdown pictures to [email protected] or to our Facebook inbox. Please tell us their names and where they’re from.
