You know that meat in the fridge?

This video of the 'talking dog' was featured on Breakfast TV this morning and Keith greeted me with it when I came down this morning. Of course, the next step was to line Paddy up for a few lessons. After all, if a German Shepherd can do it, so can our little mutt.
Wrong.
"Paddy," I said, as he sat obediently in front of me, "you know that meat in the fridge?"
Paddy shook his head firmly and wandered off to lie on his cushion.
A bit more practice, I think.

Have you noticed that you never see the dog's owner? I'm pretty sure he was throwing his voice.

"That Meat in the Fridge". Wasn't that a 1967 hit for Wales's own Tom Jones?

Now that you mention it, SP...
In 1967, YP, you wouldn't have been old enough to know. ;)

I thought it was very funny when I saw it but isn't it a good thing that dogs can't really talk? :)

I think you could be right there, Rosie. :)

I have looked at that YouTube clip several times and have come to the conclusion that the dog isn't really talking. What seems to be happening is that a human voice has been over-dubbed - cleverly synchronised with movements of the dog's mouth. Things are not always as they appear Jenny.

No way! You've ruined my day, YP!!

Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
