I'm sure you will pass with flying colours  :thumbsup: .  Not sure why they went upstairs though!  You'll get more brownie points for not being too house proud than if you had a "show house"  - much more dog friendly.
Plenty brownie points then Shep.  Never wanted to live in a show house much to my MIL's disgust.  She once made a comment years ago 'I like cleaning your floor, I can see where I've been'.  More fool her, although I think it was more a dig than fact as I'm not that much of a slob, I just have better things to do sometimes (most times ;) ). And IMO too much bleach is bad for the environment and children's immune systems.
Checking upstairs is a bit excessive. She was probably checking that you have a four poster for the dog though  :roflanim:
I am sure you will have positive news at the end of the week

No Sally, the four poster is for the cats!!!  :roflanim:

Just been looking at the Website, I can't believe that they call an 8 year old dog old, it's sad to think that people write them of as old at that age. Our oldest terrier is 9 years and the next one is 7 years  old  and would never think of them as beiong old. Having said that I noticed 'Senior' dog food the other day for dogs over 7 years.
 
Strayed of the subject a bit sorry, congratulations on your new dog , she looks gorgeous, hope she comes home soon.

Well, Amber came home with us today  :thumbsup: .  She is understandably a little unsure of her surroundings yet but as I write this she is asleep at my feet in the lounge with Toby snoring his head off next to her.  So far so good.  Fingers crossed  :fc:  she settles well over the next few days resulting in a happy healthy much deserved retirement with us. 
Shep, thank you so much for posting the link to the 'oldies' website.  We wouldn't have found Amber without you.  :trophy:   :bouquet:

Welled up here - so lovely to see an older dog rehomed, and so lovely to know your family is now appropriately complete  :bouquet:
