There now I knew that would happen, tissues please someone :-(

I saw it too and thought it was brilliant !


Found that Harper (miniature Schnauzer...very on topic after the joke lol) is a left footer (no surprise there) and Fleur the collie is a right footer

The Springer helping out with feeding the lambs was so clever..tried to see if Harper would help me with feeding the guinea pigs but she was too interested in hoovering up the food LOL x

Just as a matter of interest....when a dog shakes itself like the one in the programme it shakes from head to tail.

That is the tail is the last bit to shake.


Watch it and see.

Brilliant programme ! Is there another in the dog series about dogs or is next weeks about the horse ?
....I had to get the tissues out too !

Dad had been without a dog for some time when my mum died,( they'd lost their dog and mum was ill so he wouldn't have another pup) but I persuaded him to have a rescue dog ,he was an absolutely marvellous dog .
He was as much mine as he was dad's, tho we lived 5 miles apart.
I'm sure the friendship and bonding between them prolonged my dad's life, he'd looked after mum for nearly 10yrs,and now he had to look after Sandy ( more like Sandy looked after him !! )
Dad walked him in all weathers twice or 3 times a day,( kept him fit ) for 12 years until he suffered heart failure and Sandy came to live with us cos dad was in and out of hosp and couldn't walk him.
We had him for 4 yrs when his health began to fail,he had some sort of fit and I stayed up with him all night. I took him to the vets accompanied by my son and dau cos I guessed what the vet would say ,and they wanted to see him alive for the last time, we had to have him put to sleep. He was an 'old man' nearly 18yr old.
A while later I realised that we'd buried Sandy ( he's in our garden) 4yrs to the date that we had buried my dad ....

Son didn't know I'd just watched The Secret Life of Dogs ,but just interrupted my while I was typing to show me this on YouTube
