00:00Hello and welcome to My Pet and Me. I'm Rory.
00:04And I'm Fern. We've been hoping you would join us. We've just been cleaning the barn
00:08for the animals.
00:09Lots of different animals make excellent pets and we love meeting you and yours.
00:13We certainly do. Rory, what are your plans?
00:15I'm off to meet some new friends and you can come with me too. Let's go.
00:18Have fun.
00:19See you.
00:21My pets, my pets and me. My pets, my pets and me.
00:27Down every street, are pets to meet.
00:32Some big, some small, some skinny, some furry.
00:35Some keep very still, some always in a hurry.
00:39Some have four paws. Some have sharp claws.
00:44Some quack. Some bark. Some purr. Some moo. Some grunt.
00:48Some squawk. Some cock-a-doodle-doo.
00:50My pets, my pets and me. My pets, my pets and me.
00:56My pets, my pets and me. Have you met my pets and me?
01:06We are here in the Scottish Borders to meet Jess and her dog Moe. Let's go and say hello.
01:16Hi Jess.
01:17Hi Rory.
01:18And this must be Moe.
01:19Yeah.
01:20Oh, she's gorgeous. She looks very small. How old is she?
01:24Three.
01:25Three. Still young then, yeah?
01:27Yeah.
01:28She full of energy?
01:29Yeah.
01:30She's absolutely wonderful. And what's special about Moe here?
01:33She's a sheep dog. She winds up all the sheep with Dad and I get to help with.
01:38Wow, so a working dog and a pet as well. She must be busy then.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Does she get any time in her day left for anything else?
01:46No wonder. Well, I'm looking forward to learning a lot more about that.
01:50What do you love most about Moe?
01:52Sometimes when I get her to sit, she actually lies down instead and I get to tickle her tummy.
01:58Oh, a big tickle down here?
02:00Uh-huh.
02:01Does she love it?
02:02Yeah.
02:03Does she roll on her back and go?
02:06Now, Jess, what breed is Moe?
02:08A border collie.
02:09Ah, yes. How can you tell that?
02:11Because she's black and white.
02:13Ah, yes she is. Very distinctive markings on the face and all over her body as well.
02:19Well, she's very beautiful.
02:21Border collies are often used as sheep dogs because they're very clever.
02:25They're specially trained to work in the farm and their job is to round up all the sheep
02:30and make sure that none stray too far from the flock.
02:33Ferran, can you give us some facts about working dogs just like Moe here?
02:37Of course, Rory.
02:391. Border collies don't just herd sheep.
02:42They can herd other animals too, even ducks!
02:472. Border collies tend to be a very clever breed of dog
02:51and they like to have lots of fun by doing exercise and playing.
02:563. In fact, border collies can be so clever they are even used to help find people who are lost.
03:044. Most border collies are black and white but they can be other colours too
03:10like red and white, black and brown or even grey and brown.
03:21Most dogs are very loyal and like to get lots of care and attention from their owners.
03:26Moe's a working dog so she doesn't sleep in the farmhouse, does she?
03:30She sleeps here in the barn.
03:32And that's her spotty kennel where she sleeps.
03:35But she still needs lots of looking after.
03:37So how do you care for Moe?
03:39We clean out her kennel and we also give her fresh water and food.
03:45Great, that all sounds very important.
03:47So you look after her well, don't you?
03:48Yeah.
03:49Now, are we going to do any of that right now?
03:51Let's clean her kennel out first.
03:53Good idea to do that while Moe's out playing, isn't it?
03:55Shall we get going then?
03:56Yeah.
03:58OK.
04:07Right.
04:08Are you going to show me what to do then?
04:09Are you going to go in and sweep?
04:14Are these some wood shavings we've got in here?
04:16Yeah.
04:17Keep her nice and cosy?
04:18Mm-hm.
04:19And that's important, isn't it, because it could get cold in the barn.
04:24How often do you clean her out then?
04:26Once a week.
04:28That's good.
04:30We'll get that bit there.
04:31I thought you were going to climb in there.
04:35Excellent.
04:36How am I doing? Am I doing OK here?
04:37Yeah.
04:41I'll do a wee bit of sweeping now.
04:47Let's put the clean stuff in now, all right?
04:54Teamwork.
04:55I like a bit of teamwork.
04:57This is nice and clean, isn't it?
04:58Yeah.
04:59Very clean.
05:02That is a good shovelful there.
05:06Right.
05:07We all done?
05:08Elizabeth in the back.
05:11Good work.
05:13Let's feed her now.
05:15But first we need to...
05:16Wash our hands.
05:17Let's go.
05:22Wash your hands!
05:26Oh, yeah.
05:32Right.
05:33So we've got some food for Mo here.
05:35What have we got?
05:36Dry dog biscuits.
05:37How many scoops are you going to give her?
05:39Two scoops.
05:40OK, let's go for it.
05:45Looks delicious, doesn't it?
05:46Yeah.
05:47But we'll try and not eat it.
05:48I think we can manage not to.
05:49Yeah.
05:50What food should you never give a dog?
05:52Chocolate, raisins and grapes.
05:54That is right.
05:55Now, they're very tasty for us,
05:56but they're not so good for dogs, are they?
05:58So we've got the food there.
05:59How often do you feed Mo?
06:01Once a day.
06:02In the evening or in the morning?
06:03Evening.
06:04Ah, good idea.
06:05So when she's running around
06:06and she's rounded up all the sheep
06:07and she's feeling exhausted,
06:08she can get lots of energy from this food.
06:10It's got all the right nutrients and vitamins
06:12to keep her healthy.
06:13And we've got something else here as well, don't we?
06:15Water.
06:16And why is water important?
06:17Because if they get thirsty,
06:19it's the only thing they can drink
06:21and it's good for them.
06:22That's right.
06:23Water is important for all dogs,
06:24but especially for a working dog like Mo,
06:27who spends a lot of time
06:28out in the fields running around.
06:30OK, we've got all our food,
06:32we've got fresh water,
06:33a nice clean bed.
06:34I think we're sorted.
06:35Yeah.
06:37Mo is a very busy dog indeed.
06:39Not only is she a working sheepdog,
06:41she's also a pet to Jess and her family.
06:44If Mo could do anything, anything at all,
06:46what do you think she'd do?
06:50If my pet could be anything,
06:52she would be a pirate.
06:54She would wear a pirate suit
06:56and it would be pink, purple and black.
06:59She would sail the seven seas on a big pirate ship
07:03and there would be a flag with her face on it at the top.
07:07She would protect her treasure chest full of bones
07:10from all the wild crocodiles.
07:17So what are we going to do now then?
07:19Round up the sheep.
07:20Do you want to help me?
07:21No.
07:30What do you need to do?
07:32Give her some commands
07:33so she knows which way you want her to go.
07:35Wow, show me how it's done then.
07:40Away!
07:42Away, good girl.
07:45Look how fast she is.
07:47Come back!
07:50Come back!
07:53It's taken a while for Mo to be able to herd sheep like this, hasn't it?
07:56And a dog needs very special training before they can do it.
08:01Away!
08:08Come back!
08:12Bring them on!
08:17In here!
08:22Whoa, in here!
08:27That was amazing, well done.
08:29Thanks.
08:30Do you want to try it, Rory?
08:31I'd love to.
08:32Will you teach me the commands?
08:33Yeah.
08:34OK, what are they?
08:36Away, right.
08:38OK.
08:39Come by, left.
08:41Got you.
08:42And when she's facing you,
08:44that's away, that's come by.
08:46Oh, so when the dog is facing me,
08:48come by and away are the other way round.
08:50Yeah.
08:51That's confusing.
08:52Bring them on straight forwards.
08:54OK.
08:55Lie there.
08:56What does that mean?
08:57Just lie down?
08:58Yeah.
08:59OK.
09:00Just stop.
09:01Come in here, I want her to come in to you.
09:03OK, right, let me just check all these.
09:05So, come by is to the left.
09:07Yeah.
09:08Away to the right,
09:09and the other way round when the dog's facing you.
09:11In here means come to me.
09:13Uh-huh.
09:14Yeah.
09:15Lie there.
09:16Mm-hmm.
09:17Just means stop, lie down.
09:18Uh-huh.
09:19And bring them in in a straight line towards...
09:21Yeah.
09:22OK, I think I've got all that.
09:23Mo doesn't always get it right because she's still learning,
09:25but she always gets it right for Dad.
09:27Well, he's the farmer.
09:28He's the expert, right?
09:29Yeah.
09:30Shall I go for it then?
09:31Yeah, good luck.
09:37Come by!
09:40Off she goes.
09:41Wow, she's so fast!
09:43Is she coming in?
09:46When she comes from this seat, I'll tell her,
09:48come by again.
09:51Come by!
09:54Away!
09:56Away!
09:59Bring them on!
10:01Good girl.
10:04Come by!
10:06Come by!
10:12Away!
10:17Bring them on!
10:20Lie there, lie there, lie there, lie there.
10:25Momo, in here, come on.
10:27Come here, come here.
10:29In here, in here.
10:32Well done.
10:34Good girl.
10:36How did I do?
10:37Good.
10:38Thank you very much.
10:39Do you think I could be a shepherd?
10:40No, a wee bit more practice.
10:41Yeah, I think you're right.
10:42I'm nowhere near as good as you.
10:44Well, Momo, you were absolutely amazing,
10:46and I thought you were brilliant too.
10:47Thanks.
10:48Thanks very much for teaching me.
10:49You're welcome.
10:50High five.
10:51Pow!
10:52That's the kind of command I like.
10:54Good girl.
11:01Well, Momo has worked very hard, hasn't she?
11:03Yeah.
11:04I think it's time for some playtime though, isn't it?
11:05Uh-huh, yeah.
11:06Who else have we got here then?
11:07This is my little sister Libby,
11:09and this is Finn, Mo's best friend.
11:13Finn is very excited.
11:15Are you excited, Libby?
11:16Yes.
11:17Right, let's play then, shall we?
11:18Yeah.
11:19Come on, let's go.
11:20Woo-hoo!
11:21Momo, ball!
11:22Let's get her.
11:26Momo!
11:28Catch!
11:31Come on, Momo!
11:32Catch!
11:38Come here.
11:39Good girl.
11:40Well done, Momo!
11:41Well done.
11:42Catch!
11:44Finn's already got a ball in his mouth.
11:47He's going to try and collect both.
11:48Well done!
11:49Come on!
11:55Momo.
11:57Come here, Momo.
11:58Man, that was a lot of fun, wasn't it?
12:00Yeah.
12:01What was your favourite bit?
12:02Following the ball.
12:03Following the ball and watching them catch it.
12:06Yeah, they loved it, didn't they?
12:07Yeah.
12:08I think Finn's still going.
12:10At least Momo's calmed down.
12:11Yeah.
12:12That was lovely, wasn't it?
12:13Give her a nice cuddle.
12:14Aw.
12:16Lovely.
12:20Aw, that's a lovely cuddle, isn't it?
12:22Yeah.
12:23Thank you very, very much for having me over.
12:25It's been great meeting Mo.
12:26She's an awesome sheepdog,
12:27and you guys are brilliant owners.
12:29Thanks.
12:30High fives all round.
12:31Pow, pow.
12:32Bow.
12:33Aww.
12:34Momo, give him a high five.
12:35High paw.
12:36Yeah, Mo.
12:47Hi Fern, hi wee Jellybean.
12:48Hi Rory.
12:49You're looking happy.
12:50What have you been up to?
12:51I'm very happy.
12:52I had such a great time with my new friends.
12:54We had so much fun together.
12:55That is amazing.
12:56Well, Jellybean's just having a little bit of a cuddle at the minute.
12:59Aw, he certainly looks very happy.
13:02Pets are brilliant,
13:03but remember you shouldn't touch an animal
13:05unless the owner says it's okay.
13:06But two pets you can definitely play with are ours.
13:09Go onto the CBeebies website and play the My Pet and Me game.
13:12Thanks for spending time with us.
13:14We hope you've had fun too.
13:19Today we met
13:22a lovely pet.
13:24Wendy, how much you care for them.
13:27Thank you so much for sharing them.
13:30Time for us to
13:33just remind you
13:36after you've played with your pet
13:39wash your hands, don't forget!
13:42It doesn't matter what pets you've got
13:45you might have one, you might not.
13:48It's still fun finding out
13:51what having a pet is all about.
13:54My pet, my pet and me
13:57My pet, my pet and me
14:00My pet, my pet and me
14:03My pet and me
