She's really happy for us, and can't wait to meet our new arrival. She also said: "You don't have a newspaper, do you? Would you like me to save some of mine?", to which I replied "Oh yes please! I think weeing on the Daily Mail would be a very suitable use for it" which got a laugh

Her task this weekend was to meet and pet a new dog, and Chester was chosen. I think he was feeding off her nerves at first as he was extra barky and unsure, but by the end of the afternoon he was cuddled up on her knee. Very proud of our wee man.
