Thankyou so much for your wisdom SJ! I thought I was going to be alone in here for a while so I was going to make it up as I go along, but it is much easier when someone else has trialled and errored and I can learn from their experiences. Good idea about the wrap. Jett isn't sitting that well yet, but I'm sure it won't be long.

We have a vacuum too and figured he would be on clean up patrol, but I know he will leave some things behind... strange for a labrador. He's quite fussy and not that into food!

I had thought the same thing about the highchairs and wipes...they often look grotty and then you see the rags they wipe them down with ATM we just sit him on our lap when we are out, but of course this means we don't get to eat much, especially as he keeps stealing the food from our plate!!
