Many people who watched our video, apart from saying how impressed they were with the beauty of Ireland (and our acting skills – hmmm, not quite), asked us about the cute dog that was following us everywhere. The real celebrity of the video!! Even newspapers have mentioned her.So, here we are to properly introduce you to Jessica.
The first time we met Jess was about 3 years ago, when we moved to a new house in Galway. It was love at first sight!! Both of us, apart from all the passions you already know we have (travelling, filming, writing, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa and so on), love animals - dogs especially. Everywhere we go they seem to follow us. And with Jess, it wasn’t any different.
Apart from speaking “Doggish”, Jess communicates very well in English and Polish...do not dare to say the word “spacerek” (go for a walk in Polish) if you don’t mean it. At the moment she is trying to learn Portuguese, but is finding it a difficult language, especially the “ão” at the end of the words.
Jess is supposed to know her farm duties well, after all she is known as a sheep dog here in Ireland....but she doesn’t like to work. She just likes the good life. Jess is actually quite scared of sheep, horses and cows. The couch-sleeping, TV-watching, spoiled Jess – what would your ancestors think of you Jess??
We moved out of John’s house (Jess’ owner), less than a year ago. We have to say it wasn’t easy ...but we did need more space. We are still very close to him, and of course to Jess – this is a love for life... We always try to drop by to take her out for an adventure. She loves the beach, the lakes and forests. Those are her favourites.
But Jess is also very popular – she has many, many friends, and loves making new ones (when the people from TV Globo came to Ireland to do the story with us, Jess wanted to go to London with them – she is a real media hog). So sometimes she might have her agenda fully booked for months.
We often babysit her as well, which is the biggest pleasure...and now that she has become a celebrity, we always need to make sure we have some very juicy bones to pay her wages. Jessica also has a preference for healthy food – she looks after her figure – and raw carrots can’t be missing from the menu.
Jess, we love you! And don’t worry, even if we get the Ultimate Job, we will always come back to you...(she actually did tell us in a series of yips and yelps that she would miss us, but that it was ok. She understands this is our dream job!!)
Here is a short video of Jess doing what she loves most at Barna forest in Galway.
