A massive thank you from Angela, Toby and I. Once again, you guys came up trumps and I am delighted to inform you that I have donated £250 to the Dogs Trust.
Angela may have now been packed away for another eleven months and the house may be looking very bare with all the Christmas decorations having come down, but the blogging community continue to shine a light and make these dark Winter months bright and beautiful.
Without further ado, here’s the list of everyone that participated in Hugh’s Photography Challenge for week 8. I’m sending a virtual hug to everyone of you for helping us raise money over the Christmas festivities. Please take a bow. You have all given a homeless dog a meal and may even have found a few of those dogs a new home. Thank you all so much.

I’d also like to thank everyone who reblogged the post and shared it on Social Media. I didn’t tell you this, but I also donated £1 for every reblog and for every entry and share on Social Media.
My thanks also to everyone who informed me that they had made a donation to the Dogs Trust. Your donation is very much appreciated and will go a long way in helping some of our less fortunate four legged friends. You can still make donations by clicking the link below.
I’m going to round off this great news with the biggest thank you of all. That is going to Majka at Few Words – Uncountable Colours. In the above list, not only will you find two entries for the challenge from Majka, but she even got her daughter involved with the challenge.

Sorry I didn’t help out. I’m looking out for Zeb though 🙂
No worries, Nick, I’ll be running the challenge again in December and your mum entered both last year’s and the year’s before challenge. In fact, that is how she first discovered my blog.
Good on you with sponsoring, Zeb. I hope you get updates on how Zeb is doing? That’s a cool name for a dog.
I’ve got a scrapbook where I get photos as he grows. He wss the least popular Labrador so decided to help him 😀
That’s so kind of you, Nick. I would certainly have done the same thing.
Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful charity fundraiser Hugh, what a fantastic result!
You’re very welcome, Sherri, and thank you for being a part of its success by participating in the challenge.

That’s fabulous news, Hugh. You’re an absolute star 🙂
Thanks Mel, and thank you for participating in the challenge and making it the success it was. 🙂
My pleasure 🙂
Hi Hugh, so happy you have reached the maximum donation. Such a good thing you have done for the little ones. 🙂
And thank you for participating and helping the challenge become the success it was, Elizabeth. Without people like you, it would never have succeeded.
Hugh, this is such a wonderful effort and I loved the creativity of it, using bloggers to post their photos. Down herein Mexico, there are causes for the poor abandoned Baja dogs that abused or just let loose to fend for themselves if the owners don’t want them anymore. Thank you for bringing awareness to others and for donating on behalf of God’s creatures.
The pleasure to host the challenge and donate to charity was something that I hope will remain with me until next December when I launch the next charitable Christmas challenge, Terri. Thank you for participating in the challenge and helping it be the success it was. Without generous bloggers like you, it would never have even got off the ground.
Well, now I am thinking about doing something like this for the Baja dogs here in Mexico. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
That’s great to hear, Terri. You’re the second person to inform me that they are thinking of doing a similar challenge. Good luck with it.
Congratulations on another successful year! The entries are amazing! 🙂
Thanks, Kat. Thanks for all your support and visits during 2015.
This was a wonderful challenge Hugh. Not only did the dogs benefit but so did I – I enjoyed seeing Christmas toppers from trees all over the world.
Yes, I was so amazed by all those different Christmas Tree Toppers, Colline. From Angels, to Stars, to Robins, to socks and even Kylie Minogue, it was amazing what people came up with.
