You're not being annoying... I think one of the great things about this board is that the more experienced dog owners can help less experienced people like us - it's better that you ask and get some advice than keep it to yourself I think
Kazz is right - it might be a good idea to find out about other dog owners in you area though, maybe you can ask your vet, even if they don't do puppy parties, they may be able to recommend some training classes or just plain socialisation? Has Otis had his jabs? If so just try and meet dog owners in your area whose dogs are friendly, and maybe ask if they mind having a walk now and again?
Also remember to ring your breeder if you have any problems... I ring my breeder every week and send her updates by email
Don't worry, it will get easier, but you should probably take it easy yourself - remember if you're stressed all the time your pup will feel it and get stressed too
