PetIdol Positioning
The Joy of a Rescue Pet
To begin 2010 the PetIdol is going to be slightly different - celebrating to joys of having a rescue pet. The caption can simply say where you got them from, or anything else about why they are special.

The prize is £100 from our friends at Dog Friendly who specialise in pet-friendly holidays - they have a list of over 10,000. http://www.dogfriendly.co.uk/

The £100 will go towards a pet-friendly holiday (You´ll get a cheque for £100 to use towards whatever holiday you want). You will also get a year´s free membership of their site and a copy of each of their books - the Hotels book, the Camping and Caravan Book and the Pubs, Beaches and Days Out book.

Tina Knowles, whose idea it was for this competition, wont be able to go to Crufts in March. She had won two special tickets in an earlier competition so she is donating these tickets as a prize here.

The third prize is two BBC books - one of the current "Life" series and one of "Wildlife Photographer of the Year".

How cool is that?!

Winners are not just based on their chart position but also on whether they have thought up a nice caption, the statistics and the quality and originality of the photo - hopefully a fresh one!!

Closing date – 5th Feb. I decided to extend this by two weeks as it is such a great competition.

The winners of the last Pet Idol are:- Leslie Spinelli £100, Jenny Jackman £80, Julie Cull and N Hare - £60 each & Tina C £50. Please let me have your addresses - it must be before end Jan.
