Our New Year's Day photo shoot in the office earlier today - trying to capture a moment to wish all our friends well for 2015.

We're often asked how we "make" our monkeys sit still for photos. The answer is that they don't! Here's just a few of the out-take shots ... 

WOW. We asked for fantastic photos and we received over 300 fantastic photo entries into our photo comp from FB, Twitter and Instagram. Thank you so much to everyone who entered - it has been amazing to look through all the truly brilliant photos. The full gallery is at the foot of this page if you haven't yet seen them.

Some of the images are stunning, stunning captures that are jaw-droppingly beautiful, many made us all fuzzy and warm, and some made us laugh out loud in a good way ... it has been a very tough job.

Unfortunately there can only be 3 winners and 3 runners so here they are ...

Christmas is coming and we are giving away over £200 of Charley Chau Gift Vouchers just in time for you to spoil your dog this Christmas in our 'Most Fantastic Photo' competition! 

So the Doggie Dictator came to see us. She was one tough nut. I barked at her to try to make her go away but she wasn’t having any of it. She stayed for four hours and she says she’s coming back again.

I am working on a plan with Ninja to make it very hard for her because it seems the plan is for the humans to become mini doggie dictators. They keep saying this is not true, that they just want to learn how to make sure we're happy all the time. Well, I think it's all a cover for becoming DDs. The actual and DD hates that I call her the Doggie Dictator and she says she's going to make me change my mind about calling her that.

Congratulations to Mary Roberts who has won the GRWE Big Memory Foam Dog Bed in the prize-draw that we ran on the GRWE Facebook page!
