Meeting the relatives

Big day for Tommy and I today. We went to visit b/f brother. Shouldn’t be a big deal, but I wanted Tommy to make a good impression. He had the runs in the morning so that obviously put me on edge, but it did seem to all clear up by lunchtime so after training we went round. As normal, he was good as gold and my fears were completely unfounded. When we walked in he headed straight for the stairs ‘no’ and he stopped. He sniffed around a bit but didn’t even attempt to get on the furniture. We let him in the garden and he started to run. I shouted ‘steady’ and he slowed immediately. Sniffed the chickens and then the rest of the garden. He’s such a good boy.
