Some Labs are notorious drinkers; I knew 3 that would come up after drinking, sloshed to the gills, dripping wet snouts, and give me sloppy wet kisses for no discernible reason other than I had just changed the water in their giant bowl. It was terrible, knowing they were addicted to drink and kisses.
Since i lost my dogs early this year after 12 and 14 years these videos have kept my broken heart beating and reminds me i can love another dog again. Please keep making more videos!!
They say to never meet your idols and there's a reason. I'll be re watching all the old videos now with a different perspective. I hope they all get the help they need and can go back to finding the joy in the little things. They sure gave me a lot of joy over the past few months. xx
"Well no, I don't think any of us realized how much she was drinking." It can happen to the best of us. We have faith in you, Mabel. I know the creative juices will flow again, Olive. 💕
A fascinating insight! At first I was worried that this would make me feel differently towards them, but if anything, knowing their struggles makes me love them even more!!! 🤣
I love how Mabel has a cocktail umbrella and an olive in her drinking bowl 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸😂😂😂😂😂😂Can't wait for the Series .You need to make this happen!!!!!! 💖💖💖👏👏👏👏
What makes this "mini-series" of half a dozen or so sportscasts and glimpses "behind the scenes" so hilarious is Cotter's deadpan delivery sequed into utter canine randomness. Stepping away from Real Life during the virus has allowed us this amazing opportunity to examine literally everything from the outside, looking in. Can't wait to see where this goes as a series! There's A LOT of real life that needs re-examining about right now.
@Andrea Becker If you use your credit card, your bank will charge you the equivalent of £20 in US dollars at the daily bank rate. And, according to the website, the publisher ships to the US. If you have questions about the sale of the book: sales@blackandwhitepublishing.com
Andrea Becker I am American and I have already reserved my copy for the Fall. It’s $37.50 (includes shipping to the States) USD and worth every penny. I wish Andrew, Olive, and Mabel good luck with this book! The movie version will be just as good...I’m wondering which pair of actresses will voice Olive and Mabel...Judi Dench? Helen Miren? Kate Winslet? Emma Thompson? Helena Bonham Carter? Tilda Swinton? Emily Blunt...it will be competitive casting for these once in a lifetime parts...
@@mrandrewcotter I want to buy your book for sure. I'm a clueless American, I live in Los Angeles, AND I'm a low-tech senior citizen! Omg! But I'm DETERMINED, and I'll have that book in my hands within the month! Bookstores are open here in LA so that's a start! I have LOVED your lockdown posts! Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ to Olive and Mabel. P.s. reviewing other comments I see maybe not till fall for the book? Whatever, I'll get it!
What a treat! Another Olive & Mabel vid. You had me finished at" There was burn-out".. .🤣🤣🤣 Those last, tantalizing lines" there is talk of a series ". Please make it be true!🙂
Wonderful! When I’m having a bad day I just love watch the ‘who can disgrace themselves on a walk the most’ episode. Never fails to make me laugh. Thank you SO much for making these!
Oh! This is just magic! YES YES YES ! We would all love a series....wouldn't we people?! Ha! Just offer Olive and Mabel a rise! Well, with Mabels drinking problem.....she needs the money! ....just love it! Thank you...💕💕
Mr Andrew Cotter, You sir have, single handedly, made lockdown bearable by posting these videos of your gorgeous girls! Thank you so much x x x Beth - human to two Springer Spaniels - Trouble (F) & Monty (M) 🐶🐶
Aww we have an elderly English Springer Spaniel called Walter (13) and two previously quite naughty but now also very elderly Jack Russell Terriers aged 14, Badger and Toby! (litter brothers) but there is no love lost between them, we have to keep them apart even now😳
I 100% agree with Kathy, PLEASE don't let this end!!! Us American's stuck with an idiot in charge, need some humor about something and this is a perfect distraction for a few mins!!!
Reviewed each and every episode thoroughly, to look for the “cracks.” My belief is that their egos were bruised - I mean, anyone can be a “very good dog,” but to never be praised for having “the stealth of a sofa”?? They’ll need that series and book deal to feel right as rain again.
Such exuberance! I love both Mabel and Olive so much - they put smiles and laughter in my life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Andrew Cotter, for sharing your beautiful animals with us! I am so grateful to you.
Well you have done it again & made my day with your amazing dry humor plus excellent actors Mabel & Olive 😂. A series sounds like a wonderful idea. 😀👍. Thank you for making me laugh today!!!
This throws new light on the game of bones incident. Are you saying that Mabel's last moment victory was scripted? Incredibly generous of Olive to let Mabel take victory in such a public arena. Sadly, Mabel's struggles with drink were all too predictable. Too much too soon...
Just to add, it's in the same clip that Olive actually allows herself to be labelled 'bad dog'. In front of all her fans! What confidence in her abilities, what a pro.
I didn’t know Mabel had a drink in problem, but maybe missed a sign the day she stood motionless in the water, in over her tail. A quiet call for help, perhaps. She’s makes the right moves when she needs to, it’s obvious she still had a fight in her. Glad to see she’s taking time to get it together.
You have made a wonderful contribution during COVID using the love for and by your dogs. The incredible beauty of Scotland is awesome! One of the best things (besides having a video library of yourself with your dogs)is that it is pure. Completely.
Can not wait to watch this! It’s a family event when and O & M video is posted. Thank you so much for spending the time putting these together. They have brought us so much joy.
Yes, me also, as soon as the notification popped up !! Thank you Andrew, you have such a fantastic gift for dry comedy, utterly brilliant. PLEASE make them longer... So grateful for you all.. Jane x
No...this story isn’t over yet. Thank you, Andrew Cotter and Olive and Mabel. Can’t wait for the book to arrive in the Fall. You are a bright spot 🦮🐕🦺
Well Mr Andrew Cotter, I feel you underestimate the problems, the difficulty of fetch in long grass. Perhaps a little role reversal? I would suggest Mabel as the thrower. Let's see how well you do.
Thank you for your insight. I, too, feel that Mabel is an underrated participant in this story. Her tail says it all. She's keen, she's enthusiastic, she's there. Mr Cotter might have to look at his own work ethic, after all, berating the participant on a public forum is much like a worker complaining about his tools. Role reversal might be a heady bit of filming for the future (now I'm laughing) and also allow us an extra understanding of the difficulties and problems that Mabel is so good at approaching with her joyful face. I'd write to my MP, but I"m in Australia .... don't think they even ...
Olive and Mabel -- the ONLY subscription for which I've got notifications. Who cares about anything else? Can I just say thank you to the commenters too? The world's best, IMO. I read them until I'm hurting from the laughs.
Yipee that this is not the end! Thank you Mr. Cotter for carrying on with such a brilliant series, and nought a break in your serious style with the stars Olive and Mabel. And we can't forget Nala, the third minor(?) star who moves with the "stealth of a sofa".
@@beachgirl4583 Nala is the winner of the video contest for the charity Dogs for Good. Mr. Andrew Cotter delivered an excellent commentary of Nala stalking then chasing a bird in her backyard. I won't give any spoiler as it is worth watching.
Oh good grief Andrew - you've done it again - made life in the colonies worth living!!!!!!!!!! Please do not go back to your day job! We need you, Olive and Mabel in our lives permanently! Sending warm regards from Canada.
Lovely message but this guy, in normal times, gets to commentate on Football and Rugby World Cup Series and Cricket Test Matches so I think he will be back there at some point...and THe Olympics :)
Having quite a day I am… I just binged watched new and old and in between my dearest stars Olive and Mabel. I want to say thank you Andrew for making my day so much better. I found my smile :)
Just to clear something up - it's not the end.
Oh, thank god!
But the end of the beginning?
Thank goodness! We definitely need more.
I hope they can overcome the ravages of fame.
That's great news.... it's a dog's life, 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
As a tribute, i renamed two of my children Olive & Mabel. The boys were quite upset at first but therapy is proving helpful for them
You sir are my hero ! LMAO
Great Comment...:)
Priceless!!!!
Thanks...i just coughed my tea everywhere..laugh xxx
Don’t worry, with time they’ll thank you
I love these videos. “None of us knew how much she was drinking” 😂😂😂 please don’t stop.
“We none of us knew how much she was drinking...”
Cut to clip of Mabel with her head in her water bowl.
🤣🤣🤣
Oh that was genius.
But at least Mabel did not put a black olive in her drink, or there might have been more arguments between the two of them!
Priceless!

@Amanda Kantzer My sincere sympathy.
They say to never meet your idols and there's a reason.

"Well no, I don't think any of us realized how much she was drinking." It can happen to the best of us. We have faith in you, Mabel. I know the creative juices will flow again, Olive. 💕
"Andrew Cotter has posted a new video" - best seven words in the English language.
Amen to that!
Truth!
FACT!
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!
" "Andrew Cotter has posted a new video" - best seven words in the English language." Best fourteen words in the comment section. 😀
A fascinating insight! At first I was worried that this would make me feel differently towards them, but if anything, knowing their struggles makes me love them even more!!! 🤣
"Well, if that's what she says, but everyone remembers things differently." Brilliant satire on TV folk, as well as everything else!
Love the water bowl with a little umbrella and an olive on a toothpick
That caught my eye too! Fantastic!
Same... Totes hilar!!!
And they're both mic'ed up for the interviews.
@@tornadotigger I'm liking this because I say totes hilair, but I didn't know that anyone else did lol
Ha! I had to go back, I hadn’t caught that. Hilarious.
I could watch countless episodes of Andrew, Olive and Mable. I love it and they’re so funny 🤣
The microphones on the collars!!! Genius!
Well spotted.
*"We actually filmed this on the Isle of Man, you know, we needed the tax breaks, we were just starting out." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how Mabel has a cocktail umbrella and an olive in her drinking bowl 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸😂😂😂😂😂😂Can't wait for the Series .You need to make this happen!!!!!! 💖💖💖👏👏👏👏
Not just because i'm Scottish... Andrew, YOUR accent is perfection 😁
This is pure comedic genius!!!❤

Hi, Olive and Mabel!!!
"She started to believe her own hype..." 🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁
Developed a drinking problem...LMAO 😂😷😂
Where's the love button on TH-cam?
We need more Olive and Mabel!!
I like a dose of Olive and Mabel first thing in the morning. It makes me feel good all day.
the drinking bit was absolute genius.
I love how both dogs are mic'd up but never say anything.
please everyone buy Andrew's book so he can retire to the country and tend to Olive and Mabel's issues full time!
I am not against this suggestion.

Agreed
These r so clever and funny. A day brightener for sure!!
Please don't let this be the end! " Olive and Mabel the Series!"
Every band that has a fall out has a reunion 👍
There was mention of a series on the walk out...
Let's walk and talk...😂🤣😂❤❤🤣😂
I 100% agree with Kathy, PLEASE don't let this end!!! Us American's stuck with an idiot in charge, need some humor about something and this is a perfect distraction for a few mins!!!
Yes, I have their male counterparts - we should have Olive & Mabel meet Paddy & Bentley!
This just goes from strength to strength and I for one hope it never ends. 🐶😊
The umbrella in the water dish! 😂😂😂
...and the olive!
Gold. The drinking. Memories of my beautiful Bobbi girl. She was a lush too. You just made me cry.
🙏😪
Judging by the photo she was a beauty ! My sympathy.
🙏 😢
Adorable. I love the little umbrella and olive in the water bowl: a true star.
"... and there was boredom" [Mabel, tongue out, lying on the couch]
You and your dogs are wonderful! See if you can keep the cast together!
'She started to believe her own hype' 😂
Wow, TH-cam made a comment! :)
Wow

Such exuberance! I love both Mabel and Olive so much - they put smiles and laughter in my life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Andrew Cotter, for sharing your beautiful animals with us! I am so grateful to you.
That last line: " what's that, you got an idea for a series?"
Me: YES!! YES!! YES!!!
I felt excited at the idea and may be auditioning soon, it's very hush hush. Rover x
Andrew Cotter has the best sense of humour and the best ‘delivery’!! Thank you so much from Canada!
The finer details like the little umbrella in Andrew's drink and in the water bowl! :D
Yeah, the tiny umbrellas and cocktail olive had me rolling!
This is a year old and it's still hysterical.
Well you have done it again & made my day with your amazing dry humor plus excellent actors Mabel & Olive 😂. A series sounds like a wonderful idea. 😀👍. Thank you for making me laugh today!!!

“ hit with celebrities and less important people” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"We love our animals for their human characteristics." Truer words have never been spoken.
Please more! More Olive and Mable! 💕
Please please can we have more of this. Absolutely brilliant and has me in stitches each time.
Yes please please please do a series. We absolutely love Olive and Mabel! And the commentary is just too funny, Thank you.
Olive and. Abel are a mainstay of my lockdown experience.they bring joy to my heart in a dreary time. If not for them, all I’d have is sourdough.
And Banana bread
LOVE THIS!
Now I start the endless count to how many times I watch this🐶
Joy in the midst of a humanity in crisis! Thank you, Mabel, and Olive for offering moments of love and light!
For me, the word “delightful” has been reinvented by Olive, Mabel and Andrew Cotter.✨
"We didn't realize how much she was drinking" Ha Ha Ha.....oh! Lord, this gives me a much needed laugh!
Oh my. They make a rainy day bright! Brilliant.
You and these marvelous dogs brightened up people's days during Covid time. Thank you for your wonderful humor.
Thank you.
I would never be able to pick between these two fabulous gifted dogs. Thanks for the viewing x
"Quite sad really" with tails wagging and joyfully running round!
Thank you thank you thank you - the second I saw you had a new video I was all over it. Sad that the celebrity often goes straight to the head! ;-)
This MUST continue
The cocktail olive and umbrella poking out of Mabel's bowl during her interviews is a perfect touch
The mics were a nice touch, too.
