    You'll be fine :) They'll be used to people being nervous about it. I'm sure it'll go really well.

    I hope it went OK, she was lovely! :) I think I talked too much, and Marcus says he didn't think I talked too much..I talked non-stop.... ::)
    We had a chat and pottered around the garden, Benson wandered round with us, he was totally besotted. He demonstrated his special kangeroo jump (you have to be really special to see that... ;D )and also attempted to go home with her..Marcus demonstrated his excellent dog control by physically carrying Benson back inside our cottage.. :eek:

    So you have an OH with an "emergency control of young choccie lab" strategy. I have one of those too. It'll be a positive. ;) ;D ;D

    We use the same emergency control measure. Works on yellows too ;D

    I'm sure you made a very favourable impression :)

    Oh great, just read your latest post - congrats! That's fantastic!
