0:00:05 > 0:00:08- I'm an actress and performer.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12- I've been very lucky over the years - and spent the last five...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15- ..on the West End stage - in Billy Elliot.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18- Time for a selfie!
0:00:18 > 0:00:23- I love animals but there's - something very special about dogs.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- Here are the girls. - Jessie and Bessie.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Jessie, Jessie, Bessie! Jessie!
0:00:30 > 0:00:35- They're more like family to me. I - couldn't imagine life without them.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- "Do you sleep with your dogs?" - "Of course." "Eurgh!"
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- He's not the right man for you.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Wales is a nation of dog lovers.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- That love has shaped our lands...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- ..and warmed our hearts - for centuries.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- Who lives in the house?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- Benji. He's the landlord, - we're the tenants.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02- We also come - in every shape, colour and size...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- ..just like the dogs themselves.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I'm travelling home to Lampeter - and on the way...
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- ..I'm meeting people - who can't live without a dog.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Chico!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- # Chico chum with a fluffy bum
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- # Papa's favourite chow chow #
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- He'd go like this.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- I want to understand how dogs...
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- ..can touch our hearts so much - that they turn us into...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- ..dog people.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- There's the theatre.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51- 20 years ago I met a woman - who was able to tell fortunes.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- She told me, "You'll be - in a big musical in London...
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- "..with lots of children."
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- There are steps - everywhere in London!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Oh, yes, I said, quite cynically.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- No, I can't see that happening.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- To be quite honest, - I've got a love/hate with London.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Several people have fallen. I fell - once but managed to save myself.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- I don't think that - will ever happen...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- ..because - I'm really cemented to Wales.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Well, - I'm starring in Billy Elliot...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- ..and I live in south Croydon.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- # Oh, we'd go dancing - and he'd hold me tight
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- # He was air, he was water, - he was breath, he was light
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- # And he would hold me there...
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Starring in a West End show - has always been a dream of mine.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- # For an hour or so #
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- APPLAUSE
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- But it's also a job - that can take over your life.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Years ago, - I'd normally finish work...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- ..be first to the bar...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- ..and spend the night on the tiles.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Now, I finish at 10.30pm...
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- ..and I can't wait - to go home to see my sweethearts.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- You're starving this morning, - aren't you?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- You're good girls.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- We'll go out for a walk later, OK?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- There you go. Enjoy it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Alright?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Jessie's 13 years old - and Bessie's eight.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- I love coming home - from the theatre at night.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- I get such a warm welcome. - I love them and they love me.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- We're going for a walk now, OK?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- I have to lock up now.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Musk? Musk?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- We're just going out.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Alright! Alright!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Walking the dogs is like a warm-up.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- I practise the Geordie accent.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I don't know what you want - to keep the pits open for anyway.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- I'll just come out with it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- This is my life nowadays.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Theatre by night - and playing with the girls by day.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- As I said, Jessie and Bessie - are like family to me...
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- ..but the job of looking after them - isn't always pleasurable.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37- Have you got another one?
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- Have you got another one?- - Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Oh, for goodness' sake! For - goodness' sake, pick your poos up!
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- It wasn't ours.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- It wasn't ours.- - I don't care!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Right then, in the pool you go.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- In the pool.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Not everyone understands the love we - have for dogs but us dog people...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- ..fully understand that love.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- How old are you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- 14.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- He still misses the cat litter tray.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- I can't understand it. I'm forever - cleaning this flipping thing.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- I'm fed up of it. Please - do not miss the cat litter tray.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- What is the matter with you? - I have to speak English now.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- They're bilingual, you see.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Because Bessie and Jessie - have been good girls today...
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- ..I'm going to give them a treat.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- You're going to have two sausage - rolls and two chicken goujons.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Tasty!
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Jessie, Bessie and I are looking - forward to our trip to Lampeter.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- I've booked time off - from the theatre...
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- ..but I have several performances - to do before then.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- I enjoy coming to this cafe...
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- ..because as you can see, - I've found my own little corner.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Nobody disturbs me - and there's a socket on the wall...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- ..so I can charge my phone.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- She's the actress - in the Billy Elliot show.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Many actors come here - - Kelly Brook, Michelle Keegan.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- The actor in Bourne Identity.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- But she's my favourite actress.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- Thank you very much. That means - thank you very much in Welsh.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I'll take these home.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- If you love animals, you do things - like this. You can't help it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- You could call it a sickness - but I don't think it is.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- I don't like - seeing things go to waste.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- I can pop it in my handbag.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- They might think I'll eat it myself - tonight, but I doubt it!
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- I love the streets of London. You - never know who you might bump into.
0:07:00 > 0:07:00- Where are you from?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Where are you from?- - I'm from Jamaica.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Up, up! Alright, good one, yeah?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Ooh, he had nice teeth on him!
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- We can go now.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Another ordinary night, - apart from the fact...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- ..that Bessie - has had to go to the vet...
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- ..and has to stay overnight.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Nothing could've prepared me...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- ..for the call I received - the following day.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- I'm very grateful - you phoned me the next day.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I thought, - I bet you go on stage at 7.30pm...
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- ..because that's the normal time.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- There was nothing that could be - done, no decision to make.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- It wasn't as if - I wanted you to make a decision.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Oh, well.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Natalie said she was sitting - up, looking fine in her cage.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- She came back to give her - her tablets and she was dead.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- She thought she was sleeping. She'd - just gone into acute heart failure.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- It was quick - and she was really happy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- The only reason I kept her in - was because you weren't home.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- Good girl.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- What a good girl.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- So we've done the booster now - for Jessie.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I'm going to collect - Bessie's ashes now.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Thank you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Come on, Jess! Onwards and upwards.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Come on, Jess. Come on then.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- No, no, - we're going this way. Jessie!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- OK, Musk, we're off. Musky!
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Musk!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Musk!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- It's only been four weeks - since losing Bessie...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- ..and I'm certainly not ready - to have another dog...
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- ..but my cousin's persuaded me - to go and meet her Chihuahuas...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- ..to try and lift my spirits.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Come on, Jess. What a good girl.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- As an animal lover, - this place is heaven on earth.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Do you want a ffrwchnedd?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- That's the Welsh word for banana.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Back here, Matilda.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Listen, won't you! Hey!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- So long, boys!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Here they come.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Time to meet the Chihuahuas.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Hello. Who are you, then?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- It's a big risk - meeting small pups...
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- ..because it's easy - to fall in love with them.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Best friends.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Best friends.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04- What am I going to do?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- My cousin's very keen - for me to have one.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- I need time to think.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Jessie needs a lot of attention - at the moment, you know.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- I don't know what I'm going to do...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- ..but I need time to think.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- I'm not going to - rush into the decision.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Things have changed...
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- ..so watch this space.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- I'm so glad that little dog - didn't come home with me...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- ..because, as it turns out...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- ..those were the last days - I spent with Jessie.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Thinking of you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Two dogs sleeping.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Everyone from the vet's practice - in south Croydon has signed it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- "Gill, I'm thinking of you - at this difficult time.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- "But I'm also thinking of - Bessie and Jessie together again."
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- "Jessie was a well-loved dog.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- "She will be greatly missed, - not only at home...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- "..but within the practice.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- "Kind regards, Natalie." Sorry.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- That's set me off again now.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- You never know when you're - going to go. You just never know.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- You have to go with it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I think this programme's - going to be interesting...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- ..because we started happily by - playing with the dogs in the park.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- I didn't know - Bessie was going to die.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- I didn't know - Jessie was about to go.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I'm contemplating - what's going to happen next.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Over here is the whole lot.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I took a recent picture - for the book I'm writing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- There's Jessie, Bessie, Cassie - and the two cats...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- ..and they've all gone.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Every one of them.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- In the book, I've written, - "The family and me" beneath it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- They've all gone.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Looks like I'll be travelling alone - to Lampeter, without the dogs.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- I still want to make this journey - to meet other dog lovers...
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- ..but it's become - more of a personal journey now.
0:12:55 > 0:12:55- .
0:12:58 > 0:12:58- *
0:12:58 > 0:13:03- # Far away a voice is calling
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- # Bells of memory chime
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- # Come home again
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- # Come home again #
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- I'm on my way back to Lampeter, - calling in on people who love dogs.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Well, here we are.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- This is my first time - back in Wales...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- ..since losing Jessie and Bessie.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- The car's empty. It feels strange.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- But I have to do this.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- # This land of song - will keep a welcome
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- # And with a land that never fails
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- # We'll kiss away each hour
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Wait for it! # Of longing
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- # When you come home again
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- # To Wales #
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- I'd hoped Bessie would've been here.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- She would've enjoyed - joining in the fun.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- It'll be tough - without Jessie and Bessie.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- But it's lovely seeing people - having fun with their dogs.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- That was great.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- I have a better dog than this one. - This is the baby.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Ynyscedwyn in Ystradgynlais.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- I retired 10 years ago - and this is what I do now.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Don't cheek me now, babes!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Don't cheek me now, babes!- - Babes!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Fantastic, Heulwen!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Look, you've won!

0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Awful. It was the end of the world.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Did people ask you - if you were getting another?

0:28:21 > 0:28:23- She was spoiled.- - Yes, for the last two months...

0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Me too. - I like the way you said that.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- I asked Catherine - if she let her sleep on her bed...
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- ..and she said, "Yes." Me too.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- I cwtsh up with the dogs and cats.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- I remember one man - I was going out with said...
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- .."Do you sleep with your dogs?" - "Of course I do." He said, "Eurgh!"
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- He wasn't the right man for you.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- He wasn't the right man at all.

0:31:00 > 0:31:04- ..who can't look after a dog - by themselves any more.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- What's special for you about her?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- I like her - and I made friends with her.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- She's your friend.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- She's my friend, yeah.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- It's incredible to think - this dog might've been killed.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- And here she is, bringing pleasure - to people and enriching lives.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- I always come alive - when I know I'm nearing Lampeter.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- The attraction is so strong.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Ifan!
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- But before reaching home, - I want to visit another old friend.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Nice to see you.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- Ifan Gruffydd has a traditional - relationship with dogs.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- He's very proud of his sheepdogs.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Come by!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Lie down! Come here, come here!
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- She's working differently now.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- She's gentler.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- She's almost too sheep friendly.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- She doesn't dominate enough.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- I think the sheep...
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- ..are calmer, - they're less panicky and stressed.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- Every dog's different. He's learnt - to come back straightaway.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Say I want to put him away...
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- ..I'll say 'That'll do,' - then he comes straightaway.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- But she's different.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Candy reminds me of myself - as a child. I refused to come in!
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- I'll try to get Candy in now...
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- ..but she's young - and she doesn't want to come in.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49- That's what I was like. I was out, - gallivanting and wouldn't come home!
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Mam and Dad would say, - "Where's that girl? Gillian!"
0:32:53 > 0:32:54- "Where's that girl again?"
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- "Where's that girl again?"- - "Come on!"
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Candy! That'll do. Come here now.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- Come here, Candy. That'll do.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- That'll do. Candy, come here, - come here, come here.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- Come here. That's it. Come here now.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Come here. That'll do. - Come here. Candy!
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- She's a naughty girl!
0:33:15 > 0:33:16- How are you, Dilys?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- How are you, Dilys?- - How are you?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20- Who lives in the house?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Who lives in the house?- - Benji.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- He's the landlord, - we're the tenants.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- Though Ifan's proud - of the sheepdogs...
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- ..the house dog's treated - very differently.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- He's under the weather.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Are you upset when dogs die?
0:33:38 > 0:33:43- Yes, I lost a King Charles Cavalier - like Benji...
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- ..called Meg...
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- ..when she was seven and a half.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- It was many years ago.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- I said I'd never have another dog.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- It was the Saturday after Christmas - and I was sitting here.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Ifan had gone - to the sheepdog trials.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- The late John Benjamin, - who lived next door but one...
0:34:06 > 0:34:11- ..knocked on the door and told me - he had something for me in the boot.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16- He opened the boot and Benji - could fit in my hand back then.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- He said, "Here's a present for you." - I could never say no.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- I said I've got so many sheepdogs, - I'm not sure about it.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- I don't know what Ifan will say.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- We've plenty of dogs as it is.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- "Don't worry, Ifan'll say nothing."
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- Ifan came home - and saw me nursing Benji...
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- ..and I said I can't - think of a name for him, Ifan.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Ifan said, "Benji, of course"...
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- ..after John Benjamin, - who gave him to me.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- I think Benji's enjoying this chat.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- I don't think so. - He's fallen asleep.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- I know, Benji, I understand. - Going on and on and on about dogs.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Leave me alone to sleep.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- He's saying, "When is she leaving? - When is she leaving?"
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Benji!
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- He knows I like the attention - because I'm a performer.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23- That's what Benji's doing - - drawing attention to himself.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- SNORES LOUDLY
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Thank you. Thank you - for the sponge and the tea.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- You didn't take a slice with you.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Post it to me!

0:36:09 > 0:36:11- No.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- You're asking too much. - You're in Lampeter, not London!
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- You're in Lampeter. Hallelujah! - This isn't the West End!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Where's the Chihuahua then?

0:36:25 > 0:36:28- I don't know - what I'm going to do yet.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- I have to wait to see - what happens with my career first.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33- One thing at a time.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- One thing at a time.- - Something will open up.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39- This is where - I get advice from Delyth.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- I remember having a coffee here - years ago and you said...
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- .."You should be - in a musical in London."
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- I said so and I was right, wasn't I?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- You were right. - Next thing, I was there.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- I say, I don't know - what's going to happen next...
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- ..and Delyth says, - "Something'll turn up."
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Something - is around the corner, guaranteed.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- Something - is around the corner, guaranteed.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- I've been friends - with these special women...
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- ..since I was a little girl.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- How do you stay so slim?
0:37:14 > 0:37:15- I don't know. I like fudge.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- I don't know. I like fudge.- - She walks the dog.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- That's what I used to do.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24- He's nine months old now.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- He's nine months old now.- - I remember the first time we met.
0:37:27 > 0:37:33- I remember the first time. Freddie - left a present on the floor for you.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Gillian was in - her lovely clothes and high heels...
0:37:37 > 0:37:42- ..cleaning it up with a cloth - and spray, saying, "Don't worry."
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- The floor hadn't been done by then, - so it was fine.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- I'm so sorry - about Jessie and Bessie, Gill.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Poor you. You loved them.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- I remember about six years ago...
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- ..or it might've been - five years ago...
0:38:02 > 0:38:03- When I'd started going to London?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- When I'd started going to London?- - When you started in Billy Elliot.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- I looked after - Cassie, Bessie and Jessie.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- They were in the kennels near you. - You were very kind.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- I went there every day.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- They'd come to our field - and run about and have fun.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- I remember now.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- And now it's so sad.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- And now it's so sad.- - They've all gone.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27- Are you OK?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Are you OK?- - Yes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Excuse me a minute, - I've just got to go.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- I just broke down back there...
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- ..talking about the dogs.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Come here.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- # Freddie, Freddie Peddie

0:39:32 > 0:39:34- I love coming back to Lampeter.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- I feel a bit idle because I - don't know what's in front of me.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- This is how it is - and I enjoy coming back.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- I'm having tea and toast now and - then I'll go and visit people...
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- ..because Lampeter folk - have been so supportive.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Colin the gardener has called by...
0:39:57 > 0:39:58- Nip or Pip?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Nip or Pip?- - Nip.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- ..to help me decide what to do - with Jessie and Bessie's ashes.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- She's not keen - on people or other dogs.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- You like me, don't you, Nip?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- If she knows you, you're fine. - Crikey!
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- They're nice. It's nearly Easter.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18- Which do you want?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- Which do you want?- - I've had mine. I'm eating toast.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- I'll have this. It looks tasty.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- I'll get you a plate.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- Don't bother, - it'll be gone in no time.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Forget the plate!
0:40:30 > 0:40:35- You know with Nip? - How did you decide on her name?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- The children decided - to call her Nip.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- Is it because she bit things?
0:40:41 > 0:40:42- Is it because she bit things?- - She bit everything.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49- I've got - Bessie and Jessie's ashes in urns.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- I can't decide whether to - scatter them in the garden...
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- ..or keep the urns in the house.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- But if I - scattered them in the garden...
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- ..where would be the best place?
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- I'd put them in the centre - between the two trees.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- We're going over there, aren't we?
0:41:08 > 0:41:12- Do you want to go over there, then?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- I'd put them here.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- You can put the ashes - in the holes here.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Alright. I'll give you a ring.
0:41:26 > 0:41:32- Perhaps I want to keep the urns - instead? What will I do with them?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Where are you going to keep them?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- What will I keep in them, you know?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Taking into account - the wind today...
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- ..the ashes - will be blown everywhere...
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- ..when you try to scatter them.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- There's no telling - where they'll end up.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- It's nice to laugh, but right, OK.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Will it be - a private or public funeral?
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- Private.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- We'll sort it out later on.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- I'm very grateful to you.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- And to Nip. Nip's doing - a number one on the floor.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- There's plenty to think about...
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- ..but there's no rush - to make any decisions yet.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- I return to the theatre in London...
0:42:17 > 0:42:22- ..until the Billy Elliot adventure - comes to an end.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- The final night is always exciting.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Congratulations. - You were wonderful this afternoon.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08- # There's no business - like show business
0:43:08 > 0:43:11- # There's no business I know #
0:43:11 > 0:43:13- I feel...
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- ..as though - I've fulfilled something.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20- I feel proud.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- I've done the job.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Delivered the goods, as they say.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33- Now that Billy Elliot is over...
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- ..I have to do something - I've been avoiding for a long time.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39- Collect Jessie's ashes.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42- I've got Bessie in here.
0:43:42 > 0:43:47- Yes, I brought Bessie up - to get Jessie.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52- I can't believe it. I'm going to - put her now with Bessie in here.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57- Bessie and Jessie. - There we are, you're together.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- So, there we are, they're together.
0:44:07 > 0:44:08- Oh, my God!
0:44:08 > 0:44:11- Oh, my God!- - It's traumatic. I know how you feel.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35- I've decided - to have a simple ceremony...
0:44:35 > 0:44:37- ..in the house with my brother Alun.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- I think it's nice - that I put her there.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Jessie and Bessie.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- Dear Bessie, nine years old.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01- Jessie, 14 and a half years old.
0:45:04 > 0:45:08- # Today, yesterday and tomorrow - is our time
0:45:09 > 0:45:12- # Today, yesterday and tomorrow - is our world
0:45:12 > 0:45:16- # The silver lining is so fragile
0:45:17 > 0:45:21- # And the magic won't last forever
0:45:21 > 0:45:23- # Despair in the melody
0:45:24 > 0:45:26- # But hope in the song
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- # An unfinished song
0:45:30 > 0:45:32- # And the melody lives on
0:45:33 > 0:45:36- # And the melody lives on
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- # And the melody
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- # Lives on
0:45:42 > 0:45:44- # And the melody
0:45:44 > 0:45:49- # Lives on #
0:45:52 > 0:45:57- It's been an incredible journey. - I've learned a lot.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02- A dog can give you so much - if you're ready to open your heart.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07- It can be a friend, - a crutch, company...
0:46:07 > 0:46:09- ..and even therapy.
0:46:11 > 0:46:16- The biggest thing I've learnt - about myself is that I love dogs.
0:46:16 > 0:46:20- More than anything else, - I love living with them.
0:46:20 > 0:46:25- I'm on my way back - to see my cousin and the Chihuahua.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- The thing is, - I'm not sure if I'm ready for this.
0:46:30 > 0:46:35- She's arranged a date for me with - another Chihuahua who needs a home.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- I'm a bit nervous. - I don't know, we'll see.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44- Ohh!
0:46:44 > 0:46:48- Hello, sweetheart. Well, well, well.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52- Her owner - can't look after her any more.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55- Here she is.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57- Here she is.- - Hello, sweetie.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59- Her name is...
0:46:59 > 0:47:01- ..Tinkerbell.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07- She's very small. She won't - grow any more now at her age.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11- Hello, sweetie. - You have a little whiff now.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13- Do you want to go on the grass?
