In the clip, he says to Olive: "What's that, you've got a book coming out? Olive, Mabel and Me? And you're upset she's got top billing? Well that's age, she's four years older than you, how do you think I feel, I'm third in the ranking? " Statutory registers - Births". Scotland's People. National Records of Scotland and the Court of the Lord Lyon. Since 2013, Cotter has been part of BBC Sport's commentary team for athletics, working on several European Athletics and World Athletics Championships, as well as The Olympic Games. [12] He has attended four Olympics, initially as a multi-sport commentator, but since 2016 as part of the athletics team and also as commentator on The Opening and Closing ceremonies. Olive, Mabel & Me is a highly entertaining look at something good that as come out of this terrible year – 2020. And author Andrew Cotter is continuing to delight his, and his girls’ fans in Olive, Mabel & Me, his debut work. Highly recommended. The last chapter contains reflections on the inevitability of losing dogs and the unspoken hardship of opening your heart to a new one, and it made me bawl my eyes out. As Andrew so eloquently writes, dogs are “inseparable companions and effectively a part of your soul, that if cut out, leaves you empty.” I’ve recently had part of my soul ripped out via this same loss, and I’m so glad the feeling of emptiness has been put into such beautiful words.Rio Olympics covering the athletics 2016 Summer Olympics and Opening Ceremony in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil First book read in 2021, a brand new year, a brand new beginning. In a few days’ time I will be closer to 60 than 50 and, I’ve decided that, in terms of books, I’m going to go forth and read enjoyably – so that will inevitably mean DNF’s. I’m not going to waste any more time than necessary if a book and I do not gel. I am currently on holidays from work (yes, I still do that thing which is a necessary evil) and my grown daughter incredulously said to someone on Christmas Day that ‘Mum has taken a month off work to read’! Haha, well that’s not 100% accurate but I do like the analogy. It's very clear that Mr Cotter loves his dogs dearly, but he’s not totally blinded by their stunning personalities, writing:- On the topic of eating, Mr Cotter says:- ‘ Thankfully Olive-damage was minimal. Yes, toys had a life-expectancy measured in hours rather than years, but in terms of our own possessions she restricted it to the odd shoe and a short phase where her own beds were savaged in the middle of the night. I call this ‘the absurdly expensive phase’.’

Disclaimer: I love dogs. I love dog books. Cannot at present put my finger on any dog book I did not like. However, rarely have I enjoyed a dog book as much as I did this one. This can be attributed, in part, to the fact that Olive and Mabel are very much alive at the end of the book (happy spoiler alert!). But what Mr. Cotter has accomplished is to remind us, in this wildly uncertain year, what serenity can be found in steadying our focus to remain in this present day, preferably in the company of two very good dogs for guidance. And he did in his own inimitable style, with a new post of his famous four-legged pals.

Obviously it was my gift to myself! lol Andrew Cotter is a British sports commentator who was made redundant because of the pandemic, as all events were cancelled. Feeling bored and upset, he started creating hilarious videos, starring his two Labradors, Mabel and Olive. They immediately went viral. You can find them on the author's YouTube channel mrandrewcotter (alas, Goodreads doesn’t allow outside links). Episode 4 - The Company Meeting is my absolute favourite!
