I am going to Budapest with the family and need someone to look after Benny. The hotel there does not allow dogs. l I know you really like Benny. I would fill the fridge for you and leave the complete series of The Ridge on blue ray on the sofa. You could ask Meg over and do some binge watching. Please let me know if you can help.

It would be great if Benny could stay with your team at such short notice. Would you please let me know if you have space for Benny? I would bring him around 12.00 pm on Friday. Should I bring anything else apart from food and the leash? Looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Phil Tel. +44 680 3699 0053 Purpose: Say why you are writing.
