Didn't want anybody worrying, so I wanted to let you all know that I got the house presentable before they got over. *whew* *grin*
It was their first time meeting a pit bull too - They were obviously concerned when their baby girl adopted a vicious killer, but I sent them tons of links to check out, and my dad at least was very eager to meet her. I armed them with treats and showed them how to make her sit before they even met her. My dad did really well - my step mom was funny to watch 'cause she was nervous. She made her voice really high-pitched, and almost said "ssiiiitttt????" I told her to be a little firmer and she over-compensated - "SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Poor Inara. And when she finally sat for my step-mom my stepmom tossed the treat on the floor instead of handing it to her. Oh well, it was a step in the right direction!
