person A: So_comma_ I'm dog-sitting for my neighbor right now while she's out of town_comma_ and one of them isn't acting right. They're not eating_comma_ and they seem all morose. I think I might have to take it to the vet...
person B: Oh no. I hope they're okay. How long until your neighbor gets home?
person A: Not for another week! And the worst part is I know I have to tell her_comma_ but how do I tell her without her freaking out_comma_ you know? I don't want her to think it was my fault.
person B: I hope everything turns out okay.
person A: Thanks_comma_ I really appreciate that! We'll see how it goes. It's only been two days. Hopefully it's nothing.
