Going to See a Man About a Dog

Finally, after umpteen applications, Mrs Basil and I have an appointment to go and meet a dog.

This dog is at the Dog’s Trust so Mrs Basil and I will be heading down their with Teemo, our part time dog, in the hope that we all get along.

First date

First of all, I hope the dog takes to us. Secondly, I hope the dog isn’t too big and too unruly for us. A concern since we’ve never had a dog of our own.

Finally, I hope that Teemo isn’t in a grouchy mood. He’s usually aloof with other dogs at first and friendly later, but on occasion, if a dog is bigger and boisterous and up in his shit he can get a bit defensive.

Everybody be cool

So there’s plenty that can still go wrong and as such we need to just take it as it comes. It’s made hard by the fact that it’s been 4-5 months since we decided to get a dog and this is the first one we’ve got to meet.
