Love Your Pet Day 2012

love your pet 212x300 Love Your Pet Day 2012Update: 13th February 2012

Well we all had a great day at Cheshire dogs’ Home yesterday. Lots of people turned up with their pooches and helped to raise valuable funds for the home. There must have been around 30 -40 entries into the Love Your Pet competition which had 4 categories. Martina Dorfer from Country Dog Groomers’ was there sprucing up the pooches before Tony Longmore from Oculus Studios photographed each entrant for the competition.

Thanks to everybody who made the effort and turned this event into a success. Watch this space for next year’s Love Your Pet Day and also keep an eye out for other events throughout the year where we will be supporting Cheshire Dogs’ Home.

Beth Whittaker, one of the competition winners, was clearly very happy with the results. Look at what she had to say about Oculus Studios:

Beth Whittaker says:

Tony and Julie are fantastic – great photo’s and great customer service.
I took my dog to the ‘Love Your Pet Day 2012′ today, a charity doggie picture competition at Cheshire Dogs Home, and ‘Oculus Studios’ were there taking the pictures for the competition.
Tony was friendly, professional, and more than willing to keep trying to get the best shot of my dog, even though it took many attempts to sit him still! Tony had great patience. Julie was very friendly and printed my pictures into a keyring for me.
All in all – great service – would highly reccommend.

And here is Beth’s Pooch, Deezel who won the title “Most Handsome Dog”

If you have a dog, please bring it down to have him or her pampered and photographed. There will be a competition with lots of treats available as prizes for your pooch. We will be there from 11am until 4pm so please come down, say hello and help to support the dogs’ home. They need all the help they can get and do some great work at their Knutsford Road centre.

The Cheshire Dogs Home Spooky Woodland Walk got off to a great start last night (Saturday 29th October 2011) with over 20 entrants to the competition, which is helping to raise funds for the Dogs Home.

The kids had bags of fun walking around the woods dressed as ghouls, witches and monsters and it wasn’t just the kids who got into the spirit of things. Many people brought their dogs too and they also were dressed up as spooky canines

Below is a small selection of the entrants for the fancy dress competition. Can you do better tonight (Sunday 30th October 2011)

Oculus Studios was nominated for the Best of Warrington Customer Service award in September 2011 and got off to a great start in the polls. We were coming second place for quite some time to Wire FM’s DJ Pete Pinnington’s company “Pete Pinnington Presents”. Towards the end of the month we were told by The Best of Warrington site owner Matt Cork that we were leading by a whisker and that it was pretty much a two horse race.

Oculus Studios owner Tony Longmore and his partner Julie had a final drive for votes digging really deep with their family and friends to secure more votes. They even resorted to asking Pete Pinnington himself to use his vote wisely along with all the other nominees.

The voting finished at midnight on 30th September 2011 and we had to wait until Monday morning 3rd October before being told the final outcome. The suspense was terrible because it meant so much to Oculus Studios to win this award.

Matt Cork, owner of Best of Warrington called Tony at 9:15am on Monday morning to tell him the good news. Matt said that Oculus Studios were deserving winners and that he looked forward to presenting the award to us at The Park Royal Hotel on Wednesday 19th October. This event will also double as the Autumn VIP networking evening where all local businesses are welcome to join in and network. Click the Best of Warrington logo on this page to find out more & we hope to see you there!

Update
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the presentation will now take place on Tuesday 1st November 2011 at the same venue The Park Royal Hotel
