Dog Whisperer - 1st Season
- Who's watched: M & G (marginally)
- Mentions: *1* *2*
- Commentary: This video was a surprise I would not have considered on my own. One of my sisters sent it to me for my 2006 birthday. It was an excellent choice. Aside from the comments above, I think it is turning Mom into a watcher of the TV show. I noticed, when she watched the video, that she smiled through the entire three episodes, which were watched, pretty much, back to back. The reason I list myself as having watched it "marginally" is that I was doing chores and preparing dinner while it was on. However, I caught quite a bit of the episodes; enough so that, Mom and I had extended conversations about dogs, our previous ownership of dogs and possible future ownership (I'm still thinking, out of the question, but, you never know).

Update 2/7/18: I no longer have this DVD in my collection, unfortunately. I didn't voluntarily weed it. A few years ago I lent it to a friend who always owns a passel of dogs and sometimes has trouble controlling them. She must have found the DVD valuable because she never returned it and has left the neighboring city in which she lived for parts unknown. I've designated it, by color, as a "no longer owned" video, but I have hope ... I think it would be one of those videos where I'd watch it and remind myself of Mom and me watching it.
Here's a link to the Wikipedia write-up of the film.
