Last night's dog club didn't go to plan, the details are not important but having had to wait an hour in the van, Meerah was rushed in and was obviously unsettled. I have to confess in the circumstances I was stressed, so when she kicked off before we even got in through the door, I probably didn't handle it well. The barking continued in the hall, again maybe my stress going down the lead, but I did refuse to hand her over to someone else as I felt it was too much too soon. Meerah did eventually settle and moved happily around the room, though for love nor money I couldn't get her to stand still ... a minor detail considering everything! The long gap over Xmas really didn't help, but I'm hoping next time things will be calmer and more organised.
The one comment I didn't need, obviously said with no malice, was, "Wow she's tall!"
