- Apologies - have been very busy with broadcasting. I think I would have to quit my work if I wanted to do more regular Olive and Mabel appearances or more complex production (Willing and Mabel springs to mind.) But then I see comments from people who say they would really just like to have an update on both of them and a bit more of them doing...anything. So here they are.
And with all the noise and negative stuff out there, perhaps there are worse things to do than watch some butterflies and oblivious dogs in a garden...
Everything stops for Olive and Mabel stories.
Actually, i have stopped my work when alert popped up :)
IKR!
Amen!!
Same!
In my house too. 🙂
There’s horrible and terrifying things going on in this world, and then you have this and suddenly it’s not so bad x
I couldn't have said it better myself!
Agree 100%
butterflies 🦋
You are so right!!
I thought the same! Wonderful for inducing no anxiety.
Olive is over it, and Mabel has zero thoughts.
I adore them
You just wrote their biography in nine words.
Tasting nothing
Love the highly scientific description of the "white and not very large" butterfly naming.
“small whites, so called because they’re white and not that large …” A lesson learned! Thank you, Mr. Andrew Cotter and girls. What a beautiful garden! So very grateful for the smiles and 🦋🦋🦋. 😉
We have large DBB's and small DBB's here...unidentifiable damn brown birds!

Passed some lavender bushes as I walked the dogs to the park. Hundreds of small white butterflies. On the way back, no butterflies but replaced by hundreds of bumble bees. Did the bees scare the butterflies away or were they just waiting patiently for their turn. Either way the dogs just ignored them.
Olive, Mabel, and Andrew's dulcet tones. These are good things. 🐾🐶🐕
His voice dang just so seductive yet still soothing.
Olive, in her wisdom and maturity, appreciates the virtues of stopping to smell the lavender. Mabel is just thrilled to be in your company. (What higher honor?) Thanks for sharing these quietly blissful canine moments in your bee- and butterfly-friendly garden with the likes of us. It made my day. All best wishes.
Love this comment 😊
Since I started watching these in the early part of the pandemic, I can see Olive getting older. I have a black lab, who is very old now, and I am enjoying every minute with him. I know Andrew Cotter is doing the same with beautiful (and smart) Olive.
Yeah she's getting on.
Same here. We rescued our black lab when he was 4 1/2 years old. We just celebrated his 12th Gotcha Day two weeks ago. His muzzle, paws and underside are now all white. While he is showing signs of his age in some ways, he still has all the curiosity and joy of a much younger dog. We call him our forever puppy because he is determined to enjoy every moment of life after his bad start. We adore him and know our time with him is probably very limited now and make sure to appreciate every day with him and we still tell him all the time how wonderful he is and how is so very much loved and always will be. These videos also helped me get through the pandemic and our lab and golden go through many of the same antics as Olive and Mabel. I hope you get many more years with your sweet boy. I saw a lab who was 19 and still loving life.
Mine just turned 11, but the only grey hairs are under her toes, and she’s always up for a game of 🎾 fetch and a swim. She looks a lot like Olive. 💙
So sweet!

As a friend says, our animals prepare us for our own journey of aging. Olive is doing her journey with grace.
"What have you done with your back legs?" 😂🤣😂
So fun to see the girls. You don’t have to do the elaborate videos…anything is fun to see. You are quite lovely on your own. Your videos are just peaceful and sweet spots in my day. Thank you for sharing
Olive's stoicism & Mabel's hopeful tail-wagging just make these little films!
Thank you Andrew, seeing Olive and Mabel seems to make everything OK. XOXO
I'm with the others who asked - Mabel and Olive as much as you can swing. They keep me sane here in the states, where people have lost their blasted minds
I'm with you helped me through the pandemic still helps when I want to just scream into a pillow or cry btw I'm from MD so yeah I get it
Olive and I share the same degree of interest in the butterflies on the buddleia and milkweed plants; we are aware but not massively enthusiastic. This is why I love Olive best. I feel her benign disinterest.
Olive’s black fur blinded me!
Shiny fur means healthy dog.
Thanks for sharing.
For 3 minutes I have smiles and no anxiety. Thank you.
Vitamin B6... 100mg a daily greatly reduces anxiety and naturally reduces inflammation.
Nice butterfly garden. Thanks. Yellow jacket season here. Do you know they carry bacteria on their stingers? Yup, that's what they told us in the ER when my husband's arm swelled up with infection. We also had to evacuate from a wildfire. That's what we get for living in the woods. We get a few butterflies, bluebirds, deer, grey squirrels and blue bellied lizards. Ah, nature.
Wildfire sarcasm, yet it fits with Andrew's humour as well. So many wildfires, scarier than Olive's shiny fur. I hope all is well now. take care.
sorry they couldn't make Wimbledon, so nice to see them in the garden enjoying the butterflies 😄
It doesn’t matter how sh!tty your day has been. Olive and Mabel always make it better. 🙏🏻❤️🔥
For everyone everywhere who has dogs and understands his commentary perfectly.....if only he'd said treats not butterflies! !
So Olive is the boss?
Such a beautiful yard. You'd never get me inside if I could make mine like that.
Beautiful. So good to hear your voice and see the pups.
Thank you once again for sharing your very special dog moment. We recently lost our 15year old labrador, hesitated about having another dog, watched your video and could not resist having another black labrador.
oh dear god!!! please do not stop posting!!! I wish you could quit the day job and i could see Olive and Mabel every day. On a serious note, my husband died 11 months before the US shut down with covid. You kept me sane, I am not speaking hyperbolically, you kept me sane. I can't thank you enough. I am doing OK now, I still look forward to my Olive and Mabel fix. Keep up the good, and necessary, work!
Thank you for this few minutes of peace with your ladies. The world is going crazy and our fur buddies bring us back to calm with simple joys.
Immediate smiles, bliss, contentment, that is what Olive and Mabel and Mr Andrew Cotter can conjure up. The world becomes a better place instantly with them around.
A little bit of happiness in a sea of darkness that is our world. Thank you for sharing your puppies with us ❤
Brilliant 😊 Love your girls. My 3 Lab boys, Solomon aka Solly (13), Shadow aka Munch (12), and Toby (2) aka You Little Bug*er, all think Olive & Mabel are Superstars and should be given extra treatos tonight 😂xxx🐾🐾🐾
What a treat, Olive and Mabel! Thank you!
Beautiful butterflies and dialog. Olive and Mabel seem to have other things on their minds. Like treats and treats. Then perhaps a snooze? Do they not realize summer school final exams are just around the corner? Good to see you all. 😊
Olive, I think, is at one with the goals of the current strike of writers and actors in Hollywood. More sausage and cheese before paws are lifted in toil.
Mabel is ready to cross the picket line……without knowing why. 😉
It’s so good to see them again.
Awwwww thank you for sharing Mabel and Olive with us today Mr. Cotter , we love them so😊
Ahhhhh the dog days of summer.
Haven't seen beautiful coloured butterflies like those in years. And your garden Mr C is lovely. Not that Olive and Mabel appear to be too interested. They're more, treats, long walks and snoozing type of girls.....I think I know how they feel 😁😁.
Garden is looking lovely, it's great to see the girls and you appreciating it!
made me smile at a time when that's been very difficult for me. gotta love the universal labrador experience of them forgetting about their back legs - mine frequently sits like a poorly constructed frog.
Like trying to entertain a couple of adolescents on holiday!! Loved this ❤
Beautiful garden, butterflies and of course Olive and Mabel.
All of that beauty and all Olive wants to know is when you're going to cut the grass at least Mabel was paying attention and asking a semi relevant question. I never, ever get tired of you, Andrew, Olive and Mabel. You make my day every time!!😍
Beautiful Butterfly garden! Well done you three!
Thank you so much, mrandrewcotter! Seeing your beautiful girls ignoring butterflies cheered me up immensely!
These girls are such a delight.
Oh what a gorgeous surprise. My two favourite noses enjoying the garden!
How lovely to see/ hear you all ❤️❤️❤️
Couldn’t sleep, resorted to the iPad and there were Olive and Mabel - what a joy! Thankyou so much!
Lovely to hear from you and to see the girls ❤
What a treat!
I love the peacocks in your garden 🤣❤❤❤
Thank you for three minutes of non-stop smiling! 😊
Love Olive and Mabel ❤
I agree with the comments about just seeing them!!!
Thank you Olive and Mabel for a lovely nature walk
That's your yard? It's delightful! I'm sure the girls love the butterflies; they're just maintaining a proper air of ennui when you're around :)
‘Ruff’ crowd…BOOM BOOM!
My pooch tells me (!) horse poo is nature’s muesli bar and he’s not giving it up anytime soon. Loved seeing you all 🥰
Nice flowers and plants. Big step up from he fetid pond.
Olive's coat is so beautiful and shiny! i'd never tired of seeing the girls just being themselves! 💚💙
How lovely to see the girls again, and hear your voice! A bit of calm in a hectic world!
Glad to hear you commentating Wimbledon again! Thanks for this simply happy visit with Olive & Mabel 😊
So happy to see Olive and Mabel! Such faithful companions even if they aren’t interested in the topic.
The perfect antidote to the news. The dogs and your commentary, perfect! 😊❤
The news is negative by design. If it was all wonderful happy news people wouldn't watch it. The bad, negative news is how they keep people watching it & making a profit. Just do a Google search for how negative news is better for business than positive news. Then stop watching/reading/listening to it & you'll feel much better 👍
Everything's better when a new Olive and Mabel video comes up! Could listen to you reading the phone book 😊
The girls look very healthy and happy. It's always such a pleasure to see them. Thank you.😊
Beautiful garden, pretty butterflies, adorable pups 💜
"When are you going to stop eating horsesh-t?" 😂🤣So funny! Love them. Can never get enough.
Olive, Mabel and nature - what a great start to the day
Oh how lovely to have you three back calming us all down and making us laugh - thank you
Glad to see them looking great.
It’s so wonderful to see the girls and listen to Andrew! This was just a lovely moment!
Ah, the simple joy of another Olive and Mable video. Wonderful. ❤
Beautiful, precious babies ❤What a wonderful treat this is ❤
Those peacocks are beautiful!
Thank you. Thank you. I was starting to succumb to OMDD (Olive and Mabel Deficit Disorder). Perfect timing. And wonderful butterflies as a bonus. Glad to see Mr. Cotter and these good dogs having a nice summer afternoon.
Oh, how lovely - a new one with the girls! Always a pleasure to see and hear you all. 🙂 PS And I'm very pleased for you that you've been so busy with broadcasting! That's always good news for a freelance!
Beautiful butterflies. This is about as motivated as my dogs always are in August.
So good to see all of you in this beautiful video!
I love Mabel's nose.
All CZcams scrolling stops for the two best dogs 🐶
I’ve missed you! I don’t care what you do, it’s just great! I still have that funny picture of Olive and Mabel on their beds as my screen saver… just hoping they would come back I guess, see, it worked!! 💕
Beautiful lavender! Wow, and the whole garden! Butterflies flitting about! We don't have any butterflies where I live. Olive and Mabel are hoping for another adventure on the beach or climbing a mountain! Willing and Mabel, Yes! love it.
That was Bob Ross-level soothing. Thanks for sharing your girls!
You're all back. How lovely to see! Thanks for posting.
Asking a Labrador when will they stop eating horse sh* t, Classic 😂
Ah they're back. Bringing some much needed joy to all of us. Utterly charming as ever. Thanks and appreciation for this and all your videos. They have spread such sheer good vibes, during lockdown and indeed now.
We all needed this very simple but beautiful nature lesson Mr Cotter, Olive and Mabel so thank you, the world looks better now 😊
I demand the national Bee Hunting championship! And stick chewing to decide the winner in case of a tie!
You don't have to make me laugh every time, a happy smile when seeing the girls is quite enough :-)
Thanks Heaps for your time. My Guide Dog (yellow Lab) just Retired= we are Both Adjusting... I'm getting out less, Your videos Help. My retired Guide, watches for Olive and Mabel, and I Loved the Butterflies Break. Really grateful here, for your video visit.
Olive and Mabel videos are insta clicks. These two beautiful and adorable labs always bring a smile to my face ❤️🐕🦺🦮
Thank you for this update of Olive and Mabel! The butterflies with the eye markings on their wings was a delightful sight too - sending a "beware" warning to potential predators.
Blissful, calming and peaceful, love you three ❤❤❤
thanks for the chuckles!😂
Breath of fresh air. Thank you so much Mr Cotter. Just seeing them and hearing you is wonderful. 😊
Another wonderful video somehow bridging the gap between calmness and hilarity. Among my favorite Cotter comments: "That's a comma mistake" "What are you doing with your back legs?" ...and to the angry bee bomber, "Well that wasn't necessary" Three and a half minutes of bliss! Thank you!😊
What could be more delightful than being out in the garden in the sunshine with sweet Olive and Mabel admiring the butterflies, and the comment “What have you done with your legs….😄
All is right in the world, after a few minutes with you, Olive and Mabel, surrounded by a beautiful garden with bees and butterflies. Thank you for the moment of bliss. ❤
Olive, Mable and Andrew! Thank you for sharing what you can. And there’s nothing so wonderful as summer in the garden!
These dogs are so smart. Understanding Scottish is not easy!
🤣
I agree! 😄
Andrew’s accent is very soft and easy on the ear, you should try a thick Glaswegian accent!
Scottish accents are the best @@snappo20
Olive and Mabel Videos always brighten my day. I could watch them do anything
Thanks for this peaceful moment amidst a world in turmoil
Gorgeous, loving dogs! The butterflies and garden is great too.
Olive and Mabel...their expressions while "asking questions" and your answers , makes my day sweeter!
♥♥♥
All's right with the world again now there's a new Olive & Mabel. Lots of licks 😊😊
Hi, Olive & Mabel. Glad to see you.
