While sports have been put on hold, one BBC broadcaster has been spending his extra time with his two Labradors, Olive and Mabel.

But recently, Andrew Cotter had to sit them down for a tough conversation.

In a video shared on Twitter, Cotter had a meeting with his 2 ‘employees’ to give an annual report on their performances

According to Cotter, the two dogs ruined the sofas and hadn’t caught a single one of the 913 squirrels they had chased.

The Zoom meeting started with Cotter on the screen and two empty boxes where Mabel and Olive should be.

Olive was the first to join the call, with viewers getting an up-close view of her face.

Olive was clearly the employee of the month. She was on time to the video call, and Cotter let Olive know she'd be receiving a small bonus.

Cotter then read Olive a message from management. "You're a good dog. Yes, you are. Who's a good dog? You're a good dog," Cotter said in a monotone voice.

Mabel, on the other hand, had some progress to make.

She initially had some technical difficulties logging on to the call, but she eventually got it. When she did, however, viewers could see her distracted and later scratching herself.

"This is one of the things that we have to address, the lack of focus at times," Cotter told Mabel. "Well, there's the inappropriate stuff with Kevin the Doberman from accounts as well."

Mabel proceeded to pop back on the screen with her squeaky dog toy. Then, the dog fell asleep and logged off the call.

"We should sack her. We should definitely sack her," Cotter murmured to himself.

The good news: Neither dog will be furloughed during the crisis.

Previously, Cotter shared videos commentating on his dogs playing games

The first video, which now has over 10 million views, features Olive and Mabel racing to finish the food in their bowl.

Olive was victorious.

Cotter's reasoning behind creating the video was simple. "I was bored," he wrote on Twitter.

The broadcaster posted more videos of Olive and Mabel fighting for dog toys, and his commentary is priceless.

"Mabel takes it. No mercy from the younger dog," Cotter said in the video. "A famous win built on patience and sheer belief. For Olive, only thought of what might have been, with only herself to blame."
