Is this a record?

Tonight I tried to access 132 surveys without once progressing beyond the first question. For many, I didn't even get one question. Luckily they all paid out 5p

Puppy tails update: Today (Saturday) we started our new training classes, one step up from Puppy Classes. The boys started very strong, not listening and trying to pull me in every direction, as there were obviously new dogs to those they had met before. Apart from that, people drop treats in the grass, and that is absolutely impossible to get a Labrador past! Once I had persuaded them that the treats I had were better than those they could scavenge, we reached a working agreement. We started by revising a couple of things we had done previously, to get them all concentrating, then worked on achieving a 1-minute sit and stay, which the boys did very well. They have been doing it for shorter spells (untimed) in the garden for weeks, so only took one or two goes before we achieved it, then went on to do a 1-minute down stay. The trainer’s assistant came past and said they were really good and she would tick that off the target list towards their Grade 1 certification. For some reason, Storm was really unsettled in the Down stay - usually he is totally solid and I can walk round him without him moving, but this time Shadow stayed and Storm kept sitting up when I went behind him. More practice needed this week. There was one dog there who was literally the size of a small pony - mother a Staffie, father a Great Dane x Mastiff, I think the owner said. He was huge. The girl handling him stood across him at one stage, and was up on tiptoes trying to reach the ground. Although we weren’t doing a lot of physical exercise, they are always shattered when we get back due to the concentration and having to be obedient for that long! My friend took us, as I am not allowed to drive yet, and that was the first time for them in someone else’s car. They were really good, lay down on the seat (clipped onto the seat belts) and no fidgeting. Overall a good start to the course!

How long have people been joined and still waiting for a win on any of these free draws. Me 13 years not 1 win

⚓The Disney Dream with Em onboard arrived Funchal - due 05.45am (actually arr 06.16). before heading west for several days against the wind & waves of the high seas. What do you know about Funchal❓ .

it's the vibrant capital city of Portugal's autonomous island region of 🍇🥂🍾Madeira, set along a scenic bay on the Atlantic🌊 Ocean.

The weather there today is warm, 🌞sunny, high temperature of around 24°C and a low of 21°C.. Should be very nice with a light breeze.💨🍃 Hope they're enjoying the sight of that 3 mast sailing training ⛵ship the Santa Maria Manuela across the harbour that arrived early from Ponta Delgada in the Azores before them.

Edit left 18.24pm for the long journey to FORT LAUDERDALE. ETA 04.00am on 27th where no doubt Donald Trump will be waiting to shake her hand & welcome her to America.

Doggy update: Indi is doing well, and has her buster collar off all the time I am with her. She is a bit frustrated that I won’t let her run and wrestle with the boys, especially Storm, but is obviously not in pain now and the stitches are nice and clean. I was a bit naughty last night and left her collar off all night - she was very settled, hadn’t been trying to lick it at all in the evening, so took a chance, and she was fine. She has only tried to lick it twice, half-heartedly, today, but still has to take it steady until next Thursday check-up.

The boys are in disgrace again - in the pond three times. I said, Come on, we’ll go and feed the fish. By the time I got to the bridge, they were wading through the channel under it, looking up at me happily. They were astonished when I yelled at them to get out, and after I had towelled them off they decided to go back and hoover up the fish food that may have got caught on the rocks at the edge. More drying off. Not quite sure why they went in the third time but the door was firmly shut and they were sent to bed after that!
