From Ethan Cutts, Pediatrics and Med-Legal Chief, a reminder that the boredom associated with shelter-in-place is largely a state of mind, and often times the catalyst of creativity. Case in point: these hilarious YouTube videos of marooned BBC sports announcer Andrew Cotter (who normally covers major international events such as Wimbledon, The Open, and The Masters) delivering play by play calls of . . . his dogs Mabel and Olive eating their food and competing over a chew toy. As reported in The Guardian: in the first contest held on March 28th, Olive, the older black lab, “focused, relentless, tasting absolutely nothing,” beats out the rising star, Mabel. Then last week, Mabel, with a steady intensity of focus “built on patience and sheer belief,” snatched the chew toy title away from Olive just as time ran out, winning the title of “very good dog.” The chew toy video garnered over three million view in less than five hours – which I find very interesting.
