The Dog Days Are Over

I've always been very nervous around dogs, especially large dogs. When I arranged to visit an old friend for a cuppa today, I had completely forgotten she had a dog.

When I got out of my car, the dog was in the back garden and as soon as he saw me he began to bark territorially. Immediately, my palms went clammy and my heart started to race. Thankfully, my friend took one look at my frozen stance and grabbed hold of the dog.

Once inside, it turned out the dog was extremely soppy and very well behaved and I was able to spend a relaxing couple of hours catching up with my friend.

So thank you, Banjo, I think you might have cured me!
