Thank you to everyone entering photos in the competition—what a virtual zoo we’ve made! Thanks to everyone that’s

helped too—Karina Rooney for being my ‘checker’, Jenni Burgess Thomas for arranging prizes from the Labrador rescue,

and Mike Woods for agreeing to give £100 of prize money from his budget. Thanks to Stephen Braddick for an amazing

surprise once all the results have been announced! And thank you also, to my group of ‘spot prize’ judges.

Huge thanks to our sponsors: Jollyes St Helens, Va Va Zoom Photography and Sue Simpson. If you haven't yet made a

donation to Labrador Rescue North West Centre then please do here https://www.homealabrador.net/fundraising.html

Every penny counts

Final thanks to everyone that shared photos of your amazing animals—what a vast array we have! The photos have

brought enjoyment to all that have looked at them, which was important at this time, and I’m sure you’ve entered to

share the joy they bring. They really are all winners, and I wish I could pick them all— I do hope you see prizes as a bonus

and aren't disappointed if you don’t win, chances are yours was on my shortlist and only just didn’t get placed. It’s very

subjective and I’ve looked at both the quality of the photo as well as the ‘wow’ and ‘ooooo’ factor of the animal shown.

Some of the photos really stuck in my mind, although I did change my mind a lot in some categories! It was so hard choos-

ing some of the placings, and as we had more prizes donated I was able to split the ‘other animals’ into 2, and also

‘lockdown lounger’ and ‘other pets’—so there are 12 podiums to announce! I took so long debating between 2nd and 3rd

place that I decided to have 2 runners up instead!

Overall best in show runners up prize! Amazingly kind!

How many dogs can you fit on a chair? not

just have to buy a footstool too! I just totally love

this photo, it caught my eye, not just for the heap

of dogs in it, clearly very very close but I thought

the quality of the photo was awesome too. Love

Brightest animal -

Princess—Ashleigh

Holmes

Prize: Tote bag

The colourful birds caught my eye, however I

delegated to my daughter Olive, who chose Prin-cess because she is literally a glowing cat god-

dess in this picture. Bow down before her magi-cal majesty. Ice Queen. She takes no prisoners

Judge: Marilyn and Olive Audsley

Happiest animal -

Nanda - Karina Rooney

Prize: Tote bag

Nanda really caught my with her big beaming

smile and beautiful bright eyes! She looks like

she's firmly landed on all four paws in her new

home and is thoroughly happy, especially when

that magic word of "WALK" is muttered

Judge: Jenni Burgess-Thomas

Most unique -

Ichabod—Millie Walsh-

Prize: Tote bag

I’ve picked Ichabod the Yemen chameleon as the

most unique, due to his beautiful colouring on

Animal I most want to

take home -

Nellie - Ellen Arnold

Prize: Tote bag

Such a beautiful black cat. Her coat is so shiny and I adore

her regal pose. Black cats are less likely to be adopted be-

cause of their association with the Ancient Roman god-

dess, Diana, who was known as the 'Queen of witches' and

black cats were said to be her familiar (animal protector).

So glad someone adopted her. Also, black cats apparently

don't photograph well, but this is a beautiful photo of Nel-

lie. Judge: Silvia Marques

Animal I most want to

take home -

Amber - E Kelty

Prize: Tote bag

Because fetch would NEVER get bor-ing with Amber!

Judge: Emma Speziale

What a cheeky and colourful little charac-ter, looks like he can really hold a conver-sation!

start she is beautiful and similar to my ba-

by Felicity. I want her but you’re lucky cos

Mummy says no!
