Your best work, imo, Ser Cotton. As for that "Oscar" he's a right git. Oh, and give those poor pups a treat now and again and they'll be less bothersome. :)
So much like the Appalachian mountains in the U.S., also some of the oldest in the world. One theory posits they were connected at one point (Pangaea). I so hope to visit Scotland one day, home of my ancestors.
I hope he's directing his agent to these comments, because I agree with all my heart. Calling all Nationa Geographic, Smithsonian Channel and PBS documentary channels!

Made friends for hunting reasons. Grey wolves got dinner and men got a helping hand hunting. Both got something out of the relationship. It’s the selective breeding over the millennia to emphasise certain features that’s ethically dubious (to say the least).
There is something wrong with my eyes. They r watering so much the water is streaming down my cheeks. Having lost the best dog in the world I could not agree more. What a great gift dogs bring to us. Thank u Andrew Cotter, Olive and Mable.
This was my favorite video of Olive and Mabel. It made me cry, quite a lot, remembering our Santi, who left us unexpectedly last March, after nearly 14 years. But it was a good cry, because we loved him and he loved us. Your words about the wonderfulness of being with dogs rang so true. Thank you.
This made my day as well as my dogs were attacked this evening by a stray dog.....it was as very frightening ordeal and I’m still shaken as are my dogs. The peacefulness and the spoken word and the loyalty and love of Olive and Mable and Andrew left me much calmer. Thank you and I will watch many times again. 💜💜💜
@@lydiaernst1412 I'm so terribly sorry to read this, I'm sending you and you're dogs best wishes and good vibes for calmer walks and safe journeys. x x x
The lovely voice of Andrew Cotter And the two beautiful dogs, Olive & Mabel, are the best things that have come out of the lockdown. Truly beautiful souls. 💖
I once heard someone say that a dog is a man's best friend. and I would have to agreed. They summed it up by saying, '' 'put your wife in the boot of your car for a few hours whilst you drive around, and do the same with your dog. Then, see what the reactions are when you open it''. NOTE - I have not done this so I can still speak with a deep voice!!
Sausage Mountain Range?? Haggis Hills?? Great Valley of Chicken Bit?! RIGHT! These comments have gotten entirely too silly! Now, let's have a clean, healthy, outdoors sketch. Get some air into your lungs!.... (Monty Python Colonel bit).
No, no, no, the Haggis LIVE in the sausage mountain range and it's the Glen of chicken bits, where the haggis gather in the mating season and are serenaded by the bagpipe pigeons. Andrew and the dogs just missed the migration by the look of things.
Keep coming back to this video…. Had these moments with my Border Terrier, she’s age 15 years 2 months… arthritis had made these moments a thing of the past but the memories are beyond joy…. Thank you 😊
I've watched this video more than once and I have to say, Mr. Cotter, you and your dogs are an amazing gift to us all. The best thing that has come out of this pandemic are your videos of Mabel and Olive. Thank you for sharing them with us!
@@hlwhhlwh2351, Yours is neurotic, too? Mine has crippling fear of slippery floors, and severe separation anxiety. I don’t know how to help her, aside from using throw rugs, and several calming items (an Adaptil collar and diffuser we get from our vet every month). She’s my third Lab, from the same bloodline. The first two weren’t neurotic at all. I got her a “Mabel” for Xmas, hoping that living with a fearless airhead would help. Alas, the puppy’s coat changed dramatically, and she’s becoming a full sized German Shepherd. (She looked a bit like a muddy yellow Lab puppy. I probably should have paid more attention to her papers.) ;)
@@beachgirl4583 Yes the No 2 Lab is neurotic. I got her to stop the old lab getting depressed as she had hip dysplasia, and her shoulder ligaments and tendons got damaged as she stood her ground when a neighbours vicious dog got out, they forgot to close the gate. She saved me by not moving. I saved her because I was carrying a stout hazel stick and I belted it and took off after it belted it again. But the puppy really worked because old lab who should not run, was happy to wrestle with puppy, pull her up the hay and straw bales etc. No 2 lab hates the lawn tractor, fireworks, drills, the vacuum cleaner and it did not help that some idiot let his dog launch itself at her when she was sat at my feet. I have tried all the collars, plug ins and my vet said he will give me sedatives for Nov 5th and New Year's eve. Did not need them this year as everything was on lock down. Got the other lab puppy when I realised No 2 lab was not going to cope when we lost the old dog. No 3 was too young when we lost No 1. But she's grown into her role as she is now 3 but she is a houdini, under gates, through gates, over gates and the same for fences. She is convinced she is a hound and she's off after rabbit scents. But then she is the one that will sit for hours with me while I garden, greenhouse muck out the barns. No 2 says boring and disappears into the house.
Love your dogs, so attentive. Had a Great Dane in my first marriage and the dog was first jealous of me and later listened to all the commands to protect me, which came in handy one night. I worked a few blocks away from home, and got off late. The dog was sent to accompany me home. He was pitch black and usually walked right beside me, but, I allowed him to explore the bushes. Two guys approached me and I warned them off. They laughed, until I whistled. The dog would have never hurt a fly, but a 180 pound dog, flying out of the bushes had them running. Love your videos, brings back memories of when I had dogs.
I miss my black lab Eva so much when I see this, been 5 years and she was only 6yrs old, I thought we had so much more time together 😥 love Olive and Mabel
I second the sentiments of Margie Anton. And thank you, Andrew, Olive, and Mabel for sharing your love for each other-and your world with all of us. I laugh and cry as I watch and rewatch each video. xx
I always say to loved ones who have lost their dogs; "take comfort in the fact that you gave them the best life possible, that's all a dog can ever ask for".
Have just looked at this again to soothe my soul in our troubled times. Thanks to you and your lovely dogs. Always cheers. Please do some more when you can.🐕😍
Oh Mr Cotter...that was just the best....... I so hope it wasn't your last..😭 PLEASE don't do that to us .. we need all 3 of you... You, Olive & Mabel 💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜
This is just beautiful. The love you have for your dogs, and the love and loyalty they have for you is palpable. My dogs are my world. We camp together and walk together, they swim with me and , as you say, they’re just so happy to follow wherever we go. And after a long day, the way my dogs lean against me as we look out over whichever spectacular view we are blessed enough to have found is just the best. No words needed, just a feeling of how much love and respect there is between us. I love your videos, Mr Cotter. And although I don’t need a reminder to, I always find myself reaching to scratch a snoozing, furry head as I smile. 🙂❤️
Those pictures at the end had me tearing up. Thank you, Andrew, Olive and Mabel. You've helped so many smile during a deadly, difficult time. God bless.
Olive starting to grey a bit but it makes her look a bit wiser! Our beloved 12 year old dog passed away suddenly three weeks ago and this video brings it home just how much these lovely, devoted animals bring into our lives.
@Child of the 60's My wife is heartbroken. Those who have never had a dog just don’t understand the heartache and hole that is left when they go. It is the unconditional love, trust companionship and joy they give.
So sorry for your loss! It truly is a grief like no other, but they are gifts like no other! May you be so comforted🙏🏻 by wonderful memories and new blessings!
@@simonm7133, I’m sorry for your loss. It’s gutting when they die. I’ve survived it because I always have two, and the younger dog still needs me. I believe that the hole they leave in our hearts is a “room” for the next dog to fill. Will it be the same? Of course not. Will the love be as unconditional? Yes.
I really love this one, the dogs, the beautiful quiet of the stunning scenery with your usually drole humour thrown in Andrew. You three have been an absolute tonic in this crazy world this past year, well done and thank you 👏🤗❤️🐾❤️🐾
This is so beautiful, I'm envious....these amazing scenes. Not to mention sitting around a fire enjoying chicken bits and sausages. It really is a dog's life!!
All the sincere complimentary comments by viewers from all over the world on all the videos are so well and richly deserved. Lots of great laughs delivered with sophisticated dry humour and a wonderful accent. Every one of your videos is a gem. I hope you keep posting and delivering much needed laughter and the joy of dogs to the world. Well done Andrew.... keep them coming.... we all love your dogs and your wonderful wit.
Loving these two wonderful and endearing dogs so much from Texas! And your commentary is the best humor. It has been the most positive part of this pandemic. Keep us laughing - and loving - Olive and Mable. They have stolen our hearts❤️
Spectacular scenery. Beautifully shot. Olive and Mabel complete another one of your gentle, humorous narratives. Thank you Olive, Mabel and Mr. Andrew Cotter.
I've watched all of the O & M videos umpteen times and loved them all but this one genuinely made me shed a tear.....in a beautiful, happy way though 🙂 so heart warming and uplifting! From someone who has always had a family dog but who is now the proud guardian of a bunny who thinks he's a dog 💖🐰🐶
I'm so grateful you're continuing to share these even as the sports world gears up again. Not long ago I walked into the room where my daughter and her bf were watching the Masters and when I heard the commentator I said "hey! That's Olive and Mabel's owner, Andrew!" Thanks so much for keeping your foot in both worlds. You have a brilliant comedic streak and sharing your dogs with us while "commenting" has made life a bit more joyful this year.
So beautiful and moving. Apparently there is going to be a 'Thank you' Day in July to for everyone to say a big thank to those who we feel have helped us get through such a difficult and painful year. Well I'd like to start early by saying a big 'THANK YOU' to Andrew, Olive and Mabel for their wonderful video's which have made me laugh out loud and I've even shed a little tear at times just in awe of the sheer joy animals bring into our lives ❤🐾🐾 x
No worry that they'd accidentally run off a cliff? My dog died last summer during the height of the lockdown and Olive and Mabel have helped to heal my broken heart.
I got worried about that too ... glad to know it was addressed. I lost my old lady (18 years) kitty 10 days ago. It is SOOOOOO hard. They are family. GOOD family. There is a big empty whole in my heart where she was. It takes time. Some days are less hard than others. And sometimes I just sob. Sending support and understanding ❤
What lucky girls Olive & Mabel are to be living their best lives ❤ In doing so, they in turn give so much back to so many of us. Thank you Andrew, Olive & Mabel
Just today finished reading the book, and for the first time ever also got the audio version. Have never in my life enjoyed a book as much as this. Fell in love with Scotland when watching the "Shetland" series, adore the accent. Thank you!
Nothing but a sweet memory! I miss my girl so much it makes my heart ache. She was a Red Fox lab, she was 13, and I can’t stand being without her. Her name was Puppus and she was a flipping card. Love those two with all you’ve got, they are so special. You ever notice how you feel like your being worked by them constantly. Hey dad, hey dad, hey dad....
Mr. Cotter: my god you have a generous spirit. It takes a very, very generous soul to share this wonderful trip plus Olive and Mabel with anyone in the world who might stop to watch your videos.
Loved this so much. Am shedding tears as I think back to the magical times I had...just me and my precious dogs and remembering the sheer pleasure and contentment I felt being in their company. It was when I was truly happy. Memories, precious memories now, as they have gone. I so wish they were here. Thank you, Andrew, for sharing Olive and Mabel with us. And for this wonderful video. Sharing your life with a dog is such a privilege.
I know you've been told this many times over, but you shone a bright light in a very dim year. I love what you've done AND, I ordered your book. In hardcover, no less.
Mr. Andrew Cotter, Olive & Mabel are a treasure. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the fun they have together and Olive & Mabel’s high jinx’s since the start of the pandemic. And my god I am envious of them being able to roam the countryside and mountains like that. Thank you Olive, Mabel, and Mr. C
Your short monologue about spending time in the mountains with Olive and Mabel really struck a chord with me, and brought back memories of the wonderful times we shared in the hills with our much loved Misty. Thank you.
How can 38 people not like this? What is wrong with some folk? This is such a wonderful vid! Olive and Mabel are stars! Oh and Mr. Cotter too, of course.
We really adored this one-- my Guide Dog's ears wrinkle happily when Olive & Mabel run-- we intently watch together, thank you for bringing the silent beauty of the mountains into our home... with not driving, and everyone still keeping distance, your voice & videos bring us good cheer and gorgeous scenery. So grateful for this post today. Thanks.
Oh I think this pair do very much get their own sense of wonder from all their adventures. What a really lovely life they enjoy. They are two tired doggies at the end. Hope they enjoyed their sausages. Night-night Olive and Mabel... sleep tight!
They are two very much loved and happy dogs. What amazing scenery. The commentary always funny and a lovely Scottish lilt. Thank you for sharing x x bless Olive and Mabel x x
Watched this having recently returned from a long day hike with my two dogs. Brought tears to my eyes. You captured the experience with your eloquently chosen words perfectly. Thanks!
I was caught between a laugh and a wow! when Mabel went flying down the path. Giggling at her cuteness and wowing at the vista, breathtaking! Lovely video!
How can I express how beautiful this was? The environment was stunning. Your description and thoughts also beautiful. You obviously have a deep connection with the land. As strong as the connection you, Olive, and Mable have. I could watch and listen to this over and over. Actually I will. At difficult times there are moments I need a reminder of the peace and beauty here. Thank you to all three of you.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. My stomach bottomed out a wee bit when you walked to the edge. A man and his dogs (very good dogs) out in the wilderness. Lovely. Thank you Andrew.
After listening to the Audible version of the book for the last 30 days on a loop, (don't judge me..the stories and sound of Mr. Cotter's voice bring me joy.🤩) Seeing Mabel having the snow zoomies is priceless! Thank you Olive and Mabel and your wonderful pack leader, Mr. Cotter. The only thing that would make watching the video better, is having one of the Pimento cheese sandwiches from the Masters Golf Tournament and a cold Irn-Bru to drink!💙🏴💙
This one really got to me. It made me cry..the part about just being out there together in the gorgeous wild (or whatever you said) unleashed buckets of emotion. Simply stunning. Thank you. ❤️🐾🐾
Such beautiful scenery and it includes two of my favorite things - Mountains and dogs. Thank you for sharing Mabel and Olive with us and for your beautiful commentary.

Stunning walk . 2 very Lucky Good dogs.....
Brilliant stuff, reminds me of walking the mountains with my three labs and collie ,nothing beats that feeling.

The mans got talent
I’m crying! My heart…
After a year of not being allowed near other people... "I just want to get away to the mountains where we are the only living thing for miles around"

Also - no TV, no fear porn peddling, no propaganda, no hysteria ...

Watched this with my dog. You inspired us to travel to McDonalds together. The nuggies are gone, but the memories are forever.
Did you get any sausages?
How sad, my McDonald's has nuggets and fries all the time! Toby Tripod is very pleased.
Really funny 😄
I bet their snoring could be heard in Oslo after that hike. Beautiful scenery. Soothing stuff!.

Those pictures at the end had me tearing up. Thank you, Andrew, Olive and Mabel. You've helped so many smile during a deadly, difficult time. God bless.
I’m never more at peace then when my dogs are passed out cold after a grand days adventure.
They dream. Do canines dream of unelectric sheep? 😂
Damn Andrew, Olive and Mabel should be doing tourism advertisements. I want to be right there!
no adverts needed
That drop off had me a bit nervous for all three of them, though Olive would have noticed a shift in the ground before an avalanche.
@@beachgirl4583 Me too - a bit near the edge with those overhangs and cracks, I was holding my breath!
Only a complete and utter cynic could look upon this and not feel that warmth in the heart. Thank you Mr Cotter and Olive and Mabel.
I think we have all fallen in love with Olive and Mabel and Andrews voice and sense of humour. Such a lovely setting too
Olive starting to grey a bit but it makes her look a bit wiser! Our beloved 12 year old dog passed away suddenly three weeks ago and this video brings it home just how much these lovely, devoted animals bring into our lives.
@Child of the 60's My wife is heartbroken. Those who have never had a dog just don’t understand the heartache and hole that is left when they go. It is the unconditional love, trust companionship and joy they give.
So sorry for your loss! It truly is a grief like no other, but they are gifts like no other! May you be so comforted🙏🏻 by wonderful memories and new blessings!
@@simonm7133,
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s gutting when they die. I’ve survived it because I always have two, and the younger dog still needs me.
I believe that the hole they leave in our hearts is a “room” for the next dog to fill.
Will it be the same? Of course not. Will the love be as unconditional? Yes.
@@beachgirl4583 bless your heart and thank you 🙏
@@lorilagerstrom4123 thank you Lori for your kind words. Much appreciated 🙏
I really love this one, the dogs, the beautiful quiet of the stunning scenery with your usually drole humour thrown in Andrew. You three have been an absolute tonic in this crazy world this past year, well done and thank you 👏🤗❤️🐾❤️🐾
This is so beautiful, I'm envious....these amazing scenes. Not to mention sitting around a fire enjoying chicken bits and sausages. It really is a dog's life!!
Olive and mabel videos uplift my spirits every time. Thank you Andrew for sharing this with us.
All the sincere complimentary comments by viewers from all over the world on all the videos are so well and richly deserved. Lots of great laughs delivered with sophisticated dry humour and a wonderful accent. Every one of your videos is a gem. I hope you keep posting and delivering much needed laughter and the joy of dogs to the world. Well done Andrew.... keep them coming.... we all love your dogs and your wonderful wit.
Loving these two wonderful and endearing dogs so much from Texas! And your commentary is the best humor. It has been the most positive part of this pandemic. Keep us laughing - and loving - Olive and Mable. They have stolen our hearts❤️
Spectacular scenery. Beautifully shot. Olive and Mabel complete another one of your gentle, humorous narratives. Thank you Olive, Mabel and Mr. Andrew Cotter.
Ahhh, the bond between human and dog. Goes back thousands of years. Thank you Olive, Mabel and Andrew.
I've watched all of the O & M videos umpteen times and loved them all but this one genuinely made me shed a tear.....in a beautiful, happy way though 🙂 so heart warming and uplifting! From someone who has always had a family dog but who is now the proud guardian of a bunny who thinks he's a dog 💖🐰🐶
That ending left me in tears of happiness. Beautiful fur ladies. 🐾💕🐶
I see an upload from Mr Andrew Cotter and I click and like, it's that simple.
I'm so grateful you're continuing to share these even as the sports world gears up again. Not long ago I walked into the room where my daughter and her bf were watching the Masters and when I heard the commentator I said "hey! That's Olive and Mabel's owner, Andrew!" Thanks so much for keeping your foot in both worlds. You have a brilliant comedic streak and sharing your dogs with us while "commenting" has made life a bit more joyful this year.
So beautiful and moving. Apparently there is going to be a 'Thank you' Day in July to for everyone to say a big thank to those who we feel have helped us get through such a difficult and painful year. Well I'd like to start early by saying a big 'THANK YOU' to Andrew, Olive and Mabel for their wonderful video's which have made me laugh out loud and I've even shed a little tear at times just in awe of the sheer joy animals bring into our lives ❤🐾🐾 x
That's very kind - thank you.
'That collar must be heavy'😅🤣🤣🤣......just stunning and 2 exhausted doggos at the end 💛💛
Beautiful scenery, beautiful dogs, beautiful message - one of your best yet!
This was just what I wanted to say! I love these videos and this is definitely one of the best!
I lost my old girl (that's her in my avatar wearing a Santa hat) almost 3 years ago. We had so many good walks together.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry
1000 thumbs up for this!! Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery (and beautiful dogs) with us!
This video: Proof that angels exist and do come to earth from time to time to cheer the mere mortals.
Beautiful scenery, gorgeous dogs, thanks for posting. Don't stop please
The music, the scenery, and the sheer joy of being with your dogs, The love domes shining through.
Oh my heart ❤️ This is companionship and wonder all rolled up in one.
No worry that they'd accidentally run off a cliff? My dog died last summer during the height of the lockdown and Olive and Mabel have helped to heal my broken heart.
I was wondering about that too but you will notice that he has them on leash during the more treacherous bits of the hike.
So sorry for your loss - life is wonderful when they are with you but oh boy!! the pain of losing them is unbearable - hope you’re okay 💕
Andrew addresses that in his book, which is well worth a read and very funny.
I got worried about that too ... glad to know it was addressed.
I lost my old lady (18 years) kitty 10 days ago. It is SOOOOOO hard. They are family. GOOD family. There is a big empty whole in my heart where she was.
It takes time. Some days are less hard than others. And sometimes I just sob.
Sending support and understanding ❤
@Fide Logos - so very sorry for your loss - it is heartbreaking - I still cry over mine & she’s been gone 2 years
What lucky girls Olive & Mabel are to be living their best lives ❤ In doing so, they in turn give so much back to so many of us. Thank you Andrew, Olive & Mabel
Thank you for putting something so beautiful into the world at a moment when it is sorely needed.
This brought a tear to my eye. So moving
Just…just beautiful. And meaningful in these trying times. Thank you.
Just wonderful Andrew , you give them the life they deserve . Thank you for including us .
Just today finished reading the book, and for the first time ever also got the audio version. Have never in my life enjoyed a book as much as this. Fell in love with Scotland when watching the "Shetland" series, adore the accent. Thank you!
Nothing but a sweet memory! I miss my girl so much it makes my heart ache. She was a Red Fox lab, she was 13, and I can’t stand being without her. Her name was Puppus and she was a flipping card. Love those two with all you’ve got, they are so special. You ever notice how you feel like your being worked by them constantly. Hey dad, hey dad, hey dad....
Mr. Cotter: my god you have a generous spirit. It takes a very, very generous soul to share this wonderful trip plus Olive and Mabel with anyone in the world who might stop to watch your videos.
Loved this so much. Am shedding tears as I think back to the magical times I had...just me and my precious dogs and remembering the sheer pleasure and contentment I felt being in their company. It was when I was truly happy. Memories, precious memories now, as they have gone. I so wish they were here. Thank you, Andrew, for sharing Olive and Mabel with us. And for this wonderful video. Sharing your life with a dog is such a privilege.
Some lovely words,lost my old German shepherd a couple of weeks ago,so this video made me cry, I just love Olive and Mabel 😊
I am so sorry for your loss😔
Oh I am so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry
Jen, I’m sorry about your GS. It must be gutting. Cyber hugs, and kisses from my Olive “twin” and our GS puppy. 💙
💜💜💜💜
I know you've been told this many times over, but you shone a bright light in a very dim year. I love what you've done AND, I ordered your book. In hardcover, no less.
Thank you Mary - very kind.
Mr. Andrew Cotter, Olive & Mabel are a treasure. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the fun they have together and Olive & Mabel’s high jinx’s since the start of the pandemic. And my god I am envious of them being able to roam the countryside and mountains like that. Thank you Olive, Mabel, and Mr. C
"...no, there's no sofa..." ! 🤣
Your short monologue about spending time in the mountains with Olive and Mabel really struck a chord with me, and brought back memories of the wonderful times we shared in the hills with our much loved Misty. Thank you.
How can 38 people not like this? What is wrong with some folk? This is such a wonderful vid! Olive and Mabel are stars! Oh and Mr. Cotter too, of course.
We really adored this one-- my Guide Dog's ears wrinkle happily when Olive & Mabel run-- we intently watch together, thank you for bringing the silent beauty of the mountains into our home... with not driving, and everyone still keeping distance, your voice & videos bring us good cheer and gorgeous scenery. So grateful for this post today. Thanks.
Oh I think this pair do very much get their own sense of wonder from all their adventures. What a really lovely life they enjoy. They are two tired doggies at the end. Hope they enjoyed their sausages. Night-night Olive and Mabel... sleep tight!
Three minutes and I both laughed and had tears in my eyes. What a way with words Mr Cotter has.
They are two very much loved and happy dogs. What amazing scenery. The commentary always funny and a lovely Scottish lilt. Thank you for sharing x x bless Olive and Mabel x x
I wish I could give this more than one “Like” ... many more.
Stunning scenery ❤
I might have had a tear or two remembering my old boy Guinness and our adventures. Brilliant.
Watched this having recently returned from a long day hike with my two dogs. Brought tears to my eyes. You captured the experience with your eloquently chosen words perfectly. Thanks!
I love all your videos, but this one went above and beyond. No pun intended. The drone footage was fabulous! Great job!
I can’t thank you enough for what you have given me. Thank you Thank you Thank you
I was caught between a laugh and a wow! when Mabel went flying down the path. Giggling at her cuteness and wowing at the vista, breathtaking! Lovely video!
How can I express how beautiful this was? The environment was stunning. Your description and thoughts also beautiful. You obviously have a deep connection with the land. As strong as the connection you, Olive, and Mable have. I could watch and listen to this over and over. Actually I will. At difficult times there are moments I need a reminder of the peace and beauty here. Thank you to all three of you.
One of the best videos I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Thank you Olive and Mabel..
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. My stomach bottomed out a wee bit when you walked to the edge. A man and his dogs (very good dogs) out in the wilderness. Lovely. Thank you Andrew.
Me too! "How wide is the cornice?!""
@@MyFocusVaries, I don't know but it sure didn't show anything right up to it 🤯
After listening to the Audible version of the book for the last 30 days on a loop, (don't judge me..the stories and sound of Mr. Cotter's voice bring me joy.🤩) Seeing Mabel having the snow zoomies is priceless! Thank you Olive and Mabel and your wonderful pack leader, Mr. Cotter. The only thing that would make watching the video better, is having one of the Pimento cheese sandwiches from the Masters Golf Tournament and a cold Irn-Bru to drink!💙🏴💙
This one really got to me. It made me cry..the part about just being out there together in the gorgeous wild (or whatever you said) unleashed buckets of emotion. Simply stunning. Thank you. ❤️🐾🐾
You are so good with these two very special girls. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Nature. Yeah yeah. Beauty. Yeah yeah. Let’s have those sausages and chicken bits already😂😂😂
Priorities!
That was just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your special time with Olive and Mabel. Can’t wait for the next one 🐶❤️🐶
Such beautiful scenery and it includes two of my favorite things - Mountains and dogs. Thank you for sharing Mabel and Olive with us and for your beautiful commentary.
