I
(have just heard) that my mother suddenly (got) ill, and I'd like to go and
see how she is. The trouble is I can't take my dog Tim with me. (Do 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 (had been/was) no trouble, and got
on well with your dog. If you can have him, I (will bring) him along any time
that (suits) you. But if it is not convenient, (do not hesitate) to say so.
There are quite good kennels near here, and they (will take) him if I (ask).
He (was/had been) there once before and seemed to get on all right.
