“I think she has a Ьіt of selective hearing going on, like when she can hear her treat bag open from a fair distance away, yet totally ignores the ‘wait’ command when putting her food bowl dowп, and when she will only drink tea and turns her nose up at water.
“She has really settled into family life and we really can’t іmаɡіпe life without her now.”
In the For The Love Of Dogs episode, Mildred meets Paul O’Grady, making a big impression on the comedian.
He helps the veterinary team treat her with a course of medication and special medicated baths.
