Dear Maureen, How are you? Hope you are doing great! I would just like to immensely thank you for taking care of my dog, Patsy, while a was away for 3 weeks. I was really glad that you agreed to temporarily adopt her despite your busy schedule. Since I couldn’t bring my dog to my 3-week conference in New York, I was really worried and anxious to just leave her in pet hotels. Patsy is my only dog and I was not really comfortable leaving her with a stranger. Moreover, the cost to stay in pet hotels are really expensive. Hence, when you offered your house for her to stay temporarily, I was really relieved and happy because I know that she will be in good hands as I know that your family would take good care of her. Because of this huge favour you did for me, I would like to gift you a small token of appreciation for the kindness you’ve shown to my dog. Please accept this free one-night hotel accommodation in Marina Bay Sands with your family. Again, thank you very much for being such a wonderful friend and pet mommy to Patsy. I really appreciate it a lot. Thanks, Mariel.
