Andrew Cotter with Olive and Mabel @ The Cove and Kilcreggan Book Festival 2021

[@teff2178]

Omg, I ( a Canadian, ehem) loved this so much and am so grateful for Olive & Mabel and crushing madly on Andrew, his glorious manner of speaking and for not selling out. And Ruth is the interviewer we all want. It was so down to earth and reminded me of going to such events and the homey feeling of it all.

[@juju1896]

Well said!

[@LakshmananLM]

I came for olive and mabel, but stayed for Andrew. Brilliant man. Humble, level headed.

[@francescacastiglione7094]

I am such a huge fan of Andrew Cotter!

[@LisssyB]

Don’t let Olive and Mabel hear you say that!😂❤

[@LisssyB]

@Nartarlyia Tremaynne that’s so nice! We’re all in love with those megastars aren’t we?😂🐶

[@katiem111]

This is one of the nicest, most genuine interviews I have ever watched. Andrew, Olive, Mabel and Ruth all conspired to make this a wonderful experience. Such joy, innocence, and pure fun makes this an unforgettable experience.

[@CathyBrodie1]

What a delightful conversation, but really I could listen to his lovely voice all day long.

[@francescacastiglione7094]

Me too! And the lovely interviewer as well.

[@jamikathharrison3623]

I highly recommend his audiobook

[@phillange166]

I think everyone would like to be interviewed by Ruth Wishart, five stars for her.

[@LizCurran]

yes she is brilliant and I love her glasses! So cool.

[@juju1896]

She’s excellent! So at ease and great questions.

[@nancyhawley662]

I can't get enough of these 3! Sweet dogs, mellifuous voice! What a special treat every single time. Thank you, Andrew Cotter, Olive, and Mabel!

[@fuzzywuzzy5749]

Lost my little dog just last week. She's gone over the Rainbow Bridge. This interview helped my heart feel better. It was wonderful.

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

Until you meet again…sorry for your loss. 🇨🇦

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

Mabel in the pond doing the synchronized turn was excellent. Still brings me to tears.

[@england6013]

They are like his children. His concern when they wander off and not wanting them to eat anything bad is heartwarming. I love your warm voice Andrew. Also its such a treat to get a new clip. Thanks... and Happy Christmas

[@suehutchinson8034]

Thoroughly enjoyed it. He is a very charismatic, funny and humble man - though anyone who likes dogs has a head start!

[@blacksheep9772]

100% agree. 😊😊😊

[@minanes6549]

An intelligent, humane and sensible man. His principles for commentating should be applied to any area of life.

What a lovely fellow Scot Mr Cotter is! I do love Mabel staring blankly at things - typical Lab 🤣

Yes! I caught my Lab wagging happily one day…at the barb wire fence!?!

He's a great raconteur...like listening to a Scottish version of Prairie Home Companion, when long stories would be told...

[@brianbuday8639]

Labradorable as ever!! 🇨🇦❤️ Love the way they work the room Ours are the same so hard to refuse those faces!

[@Tiny_Island_Designs]

That Ruth Wishart is another star here - "there's nothing like a well organized event, and this is nothing like a well organized event" - very funny!

[@debbiedeavila6729]

I love listening to Andrew. What a great voice.

[@patriciablacklock7326]

That was lovely, the girls were the stars as usual, accompanied by dad with the bottomless pits for pockets carrying the treats!

Biscuits!

[@elizabeththomas6323]

Thanks for this video and all of them. Love Andrew, Olive, and Mabel ❤️ My favorite video is them standing in the murky pond

[@JB-im6bm]

I love all the videos, in a sad scary world the dogs and Andrew help me cope with life. Whenever i feel my depression coming i watch a video and it cheers me up.

[@stjohnssoup]

The lady is a great interviewer.

[@liisaks1]

The 'zoom' meeting is still my favourite. Obviously Olive and Mable are great - but Andrew (and friends) somehow managed to turn that into something EXTREMELY funny.

Kevin the Doberman in accounting. 🤣🤣

[@nancywebb1845]

After finally getting to the other end of two weeks at home with bronchitis and it being Christmas, what a treat to be the first thing I watched since I've been sick. I love that he lets them just be dogs.

[@amstaylorph]

I really like the interviewer. Intelligent, self-deprecating, and a great sense of humor.

[@patriciawilson1836]

Just discovered this while I was cleaning up kitchen from Christmas. I laughed the whole time which made it go much easier. Andrew, you and the girls are welcome in Des Moines, Iowa, any time. Maggie (the greyhound) would love to meet them. She watches the videos with me. Blessings to you for making the last year and a half more bearable. You have your readers' hearts.💜❤💙💚

Excellent! Love the dogs, Ruth’s wit and her knowledge but Andrew’s voice is really mesmeric and funny ! Thank you ❤

I am so pleased to see that they are normal labradors like mine not super obedient like my trainer’s lab!

[@artysnowbird1175]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! From several perspectives. We had a yellow lab , Ken, who was our daughter’s service dog. So many years, and so much love. Both are gone now, but Mabel and Olive and Andrew with their unique personalities make me smile and remember. THANK YOU

I enjoyed this so much. I'm a big Olive and Mabel fan who lives far away! (California) Before UTUBE celebrity struck, I had no idea who Andrew Cotter was. But I know now, and glad I do!! He is great! Loved the first book and can't wait to get the second one!

[@barbc7698]

Fact: Black Labs ARE hard to photograph. You can’t tell if they’re coming or going! I really had to listen carefully to the interviewer, as an American. These three are just the high point in my whole day, the Trick or Treat one is a favorite ❤️

Actually, I am totally 'in love' with Andrew !!!!

[@pauldover1403]

The last book was brilliant. I didn't get this one at Christmas so I'll have to buy it myself. Andrew is a brilliant writer.

[@nanfrostsfashionfocusstyle6250]

Being a black lab owner, I am a fan of Olive and think she is a beauty. Of course they both are!!! I had three dogs before I lost my eldest girl, and it is a little looney. It's REALLY harder with 3 than 2. You wouldn't think so but it is.

[@debschaefer7820]

@@mlaiuppa we had four dogs for years and they were a good pack, easy to control and very friendly towards strangers. One Christmas, we had 13 dogs in the house and it was amazing how well they all got along, even during feeding time.

[@wildman2012]

My favorite is where he turned the garage into a gym for the dogs!

[@timdowney6721]

The weight rack of sticks slayed me. 🤣

[@chinookvalley]

And you've got but the two dogs? Just two is it? Pack animals they are, as you say. To make a gloriously happy home, add four more. You'll be so glad that you did. Six here in our household, mutts all. They are rescued and from very bad situations, so much that they were scary, aggressive, vicious at times. It takes quantities of love and patience from all of us, and it is so worth it. Six sweet pups. At home.

[@shirleyn546]

Well done for taking rescues👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️

[@ciarajames5483]

as an owner of and great love for black labs i must say i am #TeamOlive but Mabel is very cute as well!

[@ajadrew]

That was great, Andrew's a good guy & I put my hand up when he asked if anyone had 3 dogs, 2 Dalmations & a Labrador! Olive & Mabel took very little notice of anything which is pretty much how things should be 😊 👍

Honestly I can watch this with the sound off. 🙃 Edit: Watched with sound off at 2X playback to see Olive and Mabel quicker. I'll read the book. 🎄✌️🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️🇺🇸 Edit: Turned sound on again, what was I thinking? Love from New York 🤗

[@shirleyn546]

Have fallen in love with these 3, love Andrew’s voice reading to me at bed time, listening to the antics of the girls, and watching the vlogs. Perfect. I have to admit, as I’m not in to sports, I wasn’t really aware of Andrew before that first vlog❤️

Not surprised that the dogs are popular in Canada since the breed originated there. Labs will do almost anything for food.

Two lovely ladies and one handsome man!

[@lburcher]

We had 3 dogs and 3 cats at the same time. As time progressed, we lost the dogs and added 4 cats. We had a max of 7 cats at once and currently have 6 (only 1 of the original 3 is still with us...he's almost 19yo). We hope to have another dog at some point.

[@melodymoore9765]

Olive and Mabel stand their own ground. No need for Pedigree Chum. Excellent. Xxx I’ve a wee black Schnauzer who looks a lot like “Hairy McClary from Donaldson’s dairy’,. I had to get a light up collar, I can’t see him in the dark. I love your videos. Had labradors but unfortunately got sick. My black Schnauzer doesn’t cast. Love your work with your canine girls.
