masma - brilliant what you have decided to sign your dog up to. Coco will be doing his/her bit to help other dogs. Realise he/she doesn't have a say in it but unless he/she wasn't brilliantly looked after he/she wouldn't have been accepted - so, a bit of discomfort for him/her is by the by to help other dogs. Well done you and Coco. (sorry bout all the he/she etc!)
rsvp - Coco is a 3 year old girl, adopted as a collie/lurcher but turned out to be part lab too.
Canary - I had my senior head on, tried 3 spellings and still decided on the wrong one!
Tinkerbell - glad you're feeling a bit better xx
