Ask locally for someone who would look after your dog in their home. Our friends do this, and the dog really enjoys his stay. Perhaps try leaving him with them just for two days initially, to see how he does.

Forgot to say that as she was abandonned by her previous owners, and her compagnion euthanazed- she is just totally unable to go to kennels. She howls and cries for the whole duration- and that would have to be for such a long time.

not seen the grandchildren since February. If we want to see them (and oh yes we do) we would have to self-isolate in the UK for 14 days - go and see them, return home and isolate again. That means our cat will be left here for about 4 weeks - well looked after by neighbour, but he hates us not being home at night. And then, what do we do with our 15 year old dog? When self isolating for 14 days in UK, we will not even be allowed to even take her round the block 3 times a day- so what do we do??? Our grandchildren would be massively devastated if we have to * can't even type the letters it is so awful. They are not allowed a pet because their dad doesn't want one- and our cat and dog they consider to be theirs to.

Just cannot bear to even think about it and not see them at all for Christmas sad
