    Chepi is continuing socialisation in places that are new. Having checked the bye-laws first, I took her to a very busy terminal 3 at Heathrow yesterday. She really enjoyed it and I wish I had taken photos now. She also went really well as I ate in a pub last night. Also, doing home checks for Labrador rescue has been good socialisation for her as we go into homes and meet lots of age ranges.
    We have had a good summer but it's back to school next week.

    Was she allowed indoors?

    That's a good idea. I could take Dawn to Gatwick as part of her puppy walking. Oh dear, I do wish she had been given a different name!

    So do I.
    @JaneMartin, sounds like an excellent idea. I think I'll take Mabel to Birmingham airport. I've been doing a lot of different places too but I hadn't thought of an airport.

    I LOVE the name Dawn!

    Twiglet is a bit odd (!) but I'm getting used to it. Not sure what her owner will think 'tho, I can't imagine a smart businessman/woman saying 'forward Twiglet' with ease!

    I know a parnership with dog Peter and owner Paul - I like that!

    If you go to an airport I would advise checking their bye-laws first. Chepi wasn't the only dog on a lead there but I was slightly looking over my shoulder!

    I think Twiglet is a fabulous name! I'm not so keen on Dawn, but that's entirely down to the association with a very unpleasant woman of that name I used to know :)

    So glad things are going well for you and Chepi
    I bet people at the airport were a bit miffed seeing a dog there - I didn't realise dogs could go into airports!
