Does anyone use Alexa to help look after their pet? There's a new free skill called Pet Buddy designed to be a companion for your dog or other pets. It has several different modes to help relax, play with them and keep them company. Enable on the Skill Store then say "Alexa, open Pet Buddy" to try it out.

My husband asked me why I was whispering in the house. I said it was because Mark Zuckerberg could be listening in. He laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

I'm too busy yomping across the moors with the dogs to even bother about Alexa. That's the best entertainment for the dogs in my book

As an old git that does not even have a smart phone no way would I be interested in these gadgets.

Amy dogs’ lives consist of eating, sleeping, widdling and sniffing. They don’t have time for Alexa.

Hmmm. Interesting.
I will probably give it a try. Not with the wild Baby Miles the dog, but with the cat-girl.
She doesn’t yet feel comfortable enough to come downstairs when Miles is there, so her life is mostly limited to upstairs. Sometimes we turn on videos of birds and such things for her to watch, but I don’t think she really enjoys them much. Maybe Alexa can do better....:?

Top tip.
If your dog has trouble sleeping, put East Enders or Coronation Street on - it works for me!
