I was invited to a party, it was a friend of a friend, it turned out it was just a few blocks away from me. The Hostess is tall, blond, great shape, and tan, all the qualities I hate in a woman. I introduce myself to her, she has this huge dog at her feet, it was a rotweiller, he never left her side. We got to talking, seems our children go to the same school, she has a seventeen year old son, I told her I would ask my daughter is she knows him. She mentioned that they were going away for a day and none of the usual guys that watch her dog are around this summer and she needed someone to come over feed him, take him out just once later in the afternoon, maybe once that night. She said she never leaves him for very long ” he’s such a good dog ” she says. He stood up, almost sensing she was talking about him, she pets him. “Whats his name” I ask, “Zeus” she replies, he circled her, noticing no one else at the party and laid back down at her feet. “He does seem so quiet and gentle. I don’t see any reason that I could’t do that for you, when, are you going out of town?”. ” Really? that would be amazing, but its tomorrow actually would that be a problem?” she says. ” Not at all” I say, and she gave me all the details and she gives me the key.

I turned the key in the lock.
