Dear Lukas,

As we talked yesterday , this weekend I am going on a trip to a hotel that doesn’t accept my dog . For that reason, I asked you to take care of him and offer my house, so he doesn’t stress with the change. Thanks again for accepting without doubt . During the time away you can write me by phone if you have any doubts about the care, but as I will explain now there is no special needs for the dog. He needs to take a walk of 20 minutes three times a day, I suggest going to the Killensberg park as it is very big and with other friendly dogs. About the food r, I will give you the bag of food and also some treats just in case you want to play with him and practice some tricks which he loves. Regarding the care of the rest of the house , there is nothing more special , I will water the plants before going. As a gesture of gratitude, I have left food for you in the fridge, including a tiramisu that I know you love.

Thanks again for taking care of my dog and the house, and see you tomorrow.

Best ,

Irene
