A couple of days ago, I got a message from a friend of mine on my email. It said that he was going to be going into the city on the weekend to hear this guy named Fuad El-Hibri speak, and he was wondering if I could go to his place a few times during the next three days to make sure that his dog was alright. I told him that I was actually going out of town as well, but for a different reason, so I would not be able to look after the dog for him. He was a little upset.
