Wish I'd have watched the news, would have loved to see you all. Jet has always suffered with separation anxiety but as years have gone on he's so much better now and will happily be left...however I've now realised its actually me that has the separation anxiety from him! 90% of the time he's with me anyway and even more so through lock down and working from home but realised the other day, when I leave him now I'm so anxious to get back and give him more of a welcome when I return than he does me! Wonder if there's any training that can be done for humans lol?! Xxx

It was a whirlwind of a day today, the time just raced past! Morning walks took place in the sunshine, with our eyes firmly on the building black clouds! The handsome George arrived mid morning, what a lovely lad he is. Stood beautifully for his arrival checks, and enjoyed his bath and his lunch. Our second newbie Penny arrived early afternoon, and what a lovely little girl she is. A little more wary of the bath, she was still a good girl & patiently had all her checks. We dodged the showers for the afternoon walk, and Penny seemed happy to be out exploring her new surroundings. We weren't joined by George - as he was being viewed, and reserved!! On our return to kennels, we learned that Penny is booked for a viewing tomorrow! We definitely need that turnstile fitted at the main gate! Returnee girlies Trudie & Chloe were both struggling a little with being back in kennels, so they were paired up in one of our bigger kennels - and are both much happier now. They obviously thrive and gain confidence in the company of another doggy companion - and the good news is that both have viewings booked for tomorrow, so fingers crossed. Goodness me - what a Bank Holiday weekend it's turning out to be! Well, as is usual I will be raising a glass or two of wine later to toast a busy but successful Daybreaks day, and send good wishes for tomorrow's viewings. Cheers one and all - as ever, stay distanced, stay safe and have a good Bank Holiday. Angie xx

Caesar

Caesar came to the kennels with Erik and Barney this afternoon. They really do get on well together and he is loving getting out and about and being part of Erik's family. However I understand he has been stealing Charlotte's sofa when he gets chance which doesn't impress her at all! :)) Xxx

I thought I should ask our residents for their autographs this morning after seeing them on BBC Midlands today yesterday! :)) Xxx Separation Anxiety is not a nice thing for any dog to suffer....it's not their fault and we need to give them lots of time and patience. Great to see Jake reserved this afternoon. :)) Alex was meant to have his neutering operation today but it was cancelled after the Vet's had an emergency to deal with. Alex was already on his way with James. I'm sure he wasn't too concerned about the cancellation and was more than happy to come back for his breakfast! Xxx Thanks to Alan and Declan for going on a trip to the warehouse for us. At last they were able to get bowl stands and Kongs! :)) Thanks so much to Lucy for the new photos of some of the dogs. Xxx We have two new arrivals due in tomorrow, a girl and a boy. Sure they will be lovely! Xxx

Well, what an exciting day, BBC Midlands Today came to film and do a segment on dogs being returned due to separation anxiety, so hair and make up done (that was just Dave, sorry Dave!!) We prepared for their arrival. They were lovely and I managed to stay out of the way as I took Champ for a dressing change at the vets! Watching Midlands Today tonight I still managed to make it onto the program, albeit about 3 seconds of my back and bum (not a pretty sight even on a good day well at least the got my 'good side')!!! Thanks too to Ian who came in with Sam and gave his input and stressed that there is help when you need or want it. We pride ourselves on being able to give help, support, advice and tips to help owners and their greys. Thanks so very much to the Wednesday walkers who spent quite a significant portion walking the dogs whilst being filmed and to Dave and Denise who managed to stay out of the way of the camera man and to Chris for her help this afternoon. Ruth did a fantastic job with her interview, I think we have a couple of greyhound converts in the BBC crew. The rest of the day was a bit of an anti climax so a bit boring after the excitement of this morning!!! So on that note, stay safe and well. Xx
