Ahh Vicki I remember them from doggy day care in Ranelagh and grooming them in Charlemont and Clanbrassil St! I was so sad to imagine him without Dora and thought of hard Jacko must have taken it so I had a good LOL at him making the most of his top dog status! Loved this! X

Aw Vicki, I didn't know Dora and Jacko's origin story and how you ended up with both of them. Such a lovely piece - I don't have my own mutt because I would be distraught if anything happened to them. But I do say hello to most dogs on the road as they pass me by, completely ignoring their owners of course.

I guarantee you I’ve missed celebrities in New York and La because I’ve only been looking at their dogs

Great read Vicki x Dogs make every day a little bit better. I always tell my husband ‘Don’t ever ask me to choose between you and the dog because you won’t like the answer!’

Vicki, I searched out this article today and it has given me exactly the comfort I needed. We lost our dog Porridge this week, he was the heartbeat of our household for nearly 13 years and his very sudden illness and passing has left us bereft. I was so worried about how our other dog, his little “sister” would take it but your tales of Jacko embracing his solo life have made my laugh through the ugly crying. Thank you ❤️💔

Oh I am so sorry to hear that 💔💔💔 Jacko gave us a fright recently, I know he’s old and our days together are numbered so I try to soak up every one! RIP Porridge xx
