    Seen from a Danish perspective: This is what's so amazing about British film. Beautifully made films,not necessarily packed with action, but fine little sketches on every day life situations. There's something so heart warming about these films, and I can't stop smiling.

    Thank you so much for posting this! Even though I have watched it MULTIPLE TIMES, when I'm having a difficult day, I watch it again!! Oh, and of course I pray to God and thank him for all the senses he gave me, and most of all, waking up on the topside of the grass!!!

    Oh, how I miss those lovely gentle long days, you watched the days roll away like a light breeze though your mind, dogs walking though their joys of being free, I recall, a tumbler of home made lemonade, jam sandwiches, and I also recall occasionally a slice of cake, sitting in the park, no worries no fears that to day brings to young and old. 🙏👍✅🐶 grandpa Pete.

    P.S. - I went to Istanbul to look for Turkish Grass. I found instead Turkish Delight ! I bought six boxes. At home I put them in.......pots under a lamp. They don't grow, but got very.....tanned ! 🤣😂😃

      Dado D I agree. In my lockdown here in midtown manhattan (things are really awful here in the city tonight), my ancient building is filled with wonderful dogs so I get to help with the poops and the pees for the older residents...... wish I had a young person with video camera making a film out of this. I took one canine lad out this morning and walked five blocks north on Lexington Ave. In the middle of the street and not a vehicle or person in sight! Don’t know where in the world you are but take great care. Miss Jenny

      Hi, Miss Jenny,
      I'm in a university English teacher from Romania who spent one year and a half in New York state back in the mid-1990s, mainly at SUNY Binghamton. At weekends I used to travel to NYC and roam the streets. I loved NYC! I' m happy to hear from somebody who lives in Manhattan and loves dogs. Take care! DD

    Becuse if they squat to pee, (on the Grass or Ground) they are Marking less area with their Scent.
