I have not seen it but if it is like most shows there are several dogs that are used as not all can be trained to do every thing.

Especially with puppies, much like babies in other TV programs. They don't need to be trained or actually "act" - they just have to be there and look similar enough to get by.

Aw, Westies are so cute! I did like Dash, though.

Her most famous dog was her tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, "Dash". The famous dog and horse painter, Edwin Landseer, painted him. I have a needlepoint pillow inspired by this painting.

Is this the same queen that had the Pomeranians?

Reminds me of the movie "Marie Antoinette" with Kirstin Dusnt. When the Austrians dropped her off with her new French court, the French made her surrender her little pug back to the Austrians instructing her she must have a French dog from now on. The pug's name was cute, but I can't remember it just now. But I'm OT.

ETA: His name was "Mops"

I tried to find out, Sue, but no luck. Maybe if you watch the credits at the end you'll see something about it. I assume you never got another dog. I'm sure you still miss Eliot. How are you feeling these days? Assume you stayed home this winter.

I don’t know about her sweet dog, but I love this series, it’s another favorite from Master Piece!

Chisue! I think of your MM often and am glad you posted the update, what great news! My DH has run into a few glitches with his remission recently, but we’re hopeful he’ll be on track again soon. :c)

Thanks for the update. I can understand you don’t need the extra work of caring for a dog. Sorry about the pain...it’s such a PAIN! I wish and hope the doctors can help you so you will be more comfortable. Monthly chemo would be good. Oski is fine at 9 years now. Take care and let us know how it goes.

OSKI! No 'e'. I thought I had that wrong. (Beg pardon, dear boy.)

Kaiser's takeover of Maui Memorial continues to be rocky. I read about unrest over an uneven pay scale -- 'Kaiser's people' and 'the old hands' not being treated equally. Darn hard to get any help there -- no affordable housing. I envisioned arriving after a 14-hour travel day, finding chaos, turning around for home again. One bright side is that we booked almost all our days Jan. - Mar. Further good financial news I will post separately.

lukki -- We need to 'talk'. I'll post something separately on the MM.

I’m so glad to read of your good news, Chisue! And I think you made the right decision regarding your trip this year. Best wishes on continued success.

sjerin -- You're nice to comment. Thank you. I don't want to bore people with this, but I know I have learned a lot from the travails of others on the KT. As for Maui...not sure I will ever be out there for as long as in the past when I have the good fortune of having an excellent resource at my doorstep here at home.

I thought Islay was a Skye Terrier? I could be wrong and I suppose those are hard to find. I haven't watched this series because the ads I see make my eyes itch. I know, I know, I should just enjoy what they put up there and not expect history. How do you make a successful series with someone who actually looked like the real Victoria or acted like her for that matter. At least I saw they acknowledged that she did have sibs. She and her sister were close. It is interesting how the family has always had so many pets.
