This is the whole draw. No editing, no cuts, no nothing. It's a long video but in case you want to know what happened...you have to watch it all :)


And if you like to know how we made it to over 800.00 Euro in the end - thanks to Sir Roger...! - watch this supplemental vid.

This video really made me laugh. It was fun.
It made me want to join in next time. It made me sorry for not donating.

Congratulations to the dogs and all the winners.

And thank you Robby, Roger and Mr. Robert. And thank you to all the donators.

We really had a lot of fun! To know that we did all that for a good cause made it even more joyful. We did it all as open as any possible, and the money side was controlled by Robert and Sir Roger. The checked the PayPal account, compared it to my papers and so on. It was something like in a bank. Strange... But that way it was sure that in the end not one single Cent stayed in my pocket.

The reason why we had those strange numbers is this: I asked to send the donations as "Family and Friends" right away in my first entry. But - unfortunately - some folks decided to send it as business payment. And so - tataa - PayPal made some good money from those donations. Anyway - next year it will be even better. And next year anyone else will take care of all that, right?

In the end we made 800.- Euro for the doggies. And 44 cents...



This is one of the smallest forums ever.

16 donators.
38 members

800.00 Euro of donation.




Facebook. Whipmaker's Hook & other groups/forums
Hundreds and thousands of members.
Donation amount: 0.00




For my part I allow myself the luxury to say: "I am proud of what I have created, here".
Only for today. Not more. But when I see what this little group did, it makes all those forums,
experts, whip masters and whole Facebook - look quiet pathetic.



Imagine how much money they could collect and donate if they would only stop to show how
incredibly good and amazing they are. But instead of helping the doggies, instead of giving free
whips for such a donation campaign... They keep showing off. The keep assuring each other how
fantastic they are. It would've been fantastic if even one of the members of even one of those groups
would have donated a whip. Or bought even one ticket. But - nothing. And they knew about the
whole thing. It was posted on Facebook several times. Like I said - pathetic.

And I instantly hope that a lot of those guys read this. They already hate me.
So...that's okay.



And to all of you who donated and bought tickets... For this day you all can pet yourself on your shoulders
and say "I did a good thing. I served a great cause. I'm a hero!"
But only today, okay? We won't overdo it :)





Thank you. From all the doggies who will live on.
And from me.

Just watched the video. Congratulations Robbie, Sir Roger, and Robert on a successful and "clean/honest" drawing. And congratulations on raising such a large amount for the Doggies.
Here's wishing you find time for the things you want to do, and for the things you need to do.
We see ourselves in our children and hope for a better future.

The amount of money which has been raised is remarkable considering the fact that we are such a small forum.
Thank's to everyone who has been participating in this campaign!

Robby, Sir Roger, and Robert, thank you very much for the hilarity that ensued during that video. It was a perfect thing to watch with the morning cup of coffee.
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

Goodness the Rabbits didn't fair too well did they? ;)

Im reading all the Comments on my phone in a slow internet Connection but now I can't wait to get home and enjoy all the fun you had.

Congratulations with the result.

And Robby are quite right about forums. Most people just want the entertainment and are absolute not interested in making any kind of personal offers or involvement.
That’s what makes you in here different.

Well done

Robby,

Thank you for doing this. My entire family enjoyed the video, especially my son who. He remarked today that, "Robby is always so serious on the whip videos. Today, he's just one of the three crazy brothers."

To all of those who have donated prizes and purchased tickets, thank you! I find it amazing that such a small group of people can do so much good in such a short period of time. Well done!
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Well Done Robby, Robert, and Roger! I had to stream this on the living room TV, it just wouldn't do to watch this on the tablet. :D

I look forward to this every year, and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Congratulations to all the winners, thanks to all the donators, and to the doggies, "Woof" and fistbump :)

Sir Roger, I love the signature line :)
I really appreciate all that each member did. Those pups deserve it.

I think I'm going to practice my knife skills a lot, I think I need to make a leather whip for next year.

Yesterday very late in the evening (you can say night) I saw the drawing. I was very tiered, because of working all the day and all the weekend :(
I am very sad, that I could not be with Robby, Robert and Roger. Mario also had a weekend full of work... :(

But at the end of the video I was very surprised to hear my name :)

Thank you very much and congratulations to all donated. It's a great thing for the Doggys :)

All the best,
Ralph
