Dear lucy, i (juct hear) that my mother suddenly (take) ill, and i'd like to go and see how she is. the trouble is i can't take my dog tim with me.(you think) you can possibly look after him for a week? you had him for a week last year, you remember, and you said he (be) no trouble, and got on well with your dog. if you can have him, i (bring) him along any time that (suit) you. but if it is not convenient, (not hesitate) to say so. there are quite good kennels near here, and they (take) him if i (ask). he (be) there once before and seemed to get on all right.
