Dear Maria, I am writing to ask you a huge favour that would help me a lot. I am not sure if Robin, my husband, told you, but recently, I started working as a security person at a college campus. It has been great, even though my shifts are always during the night. As a result, I have been struggling to adapt to the night routine and sleep during the day. I could not help noticing that Bruce is staying off-leash all day long in the backyard so that he can enjoy some time out of the house while we have warm temperatures these days. On the matter, it has been hard for me to fall asleep while he barks at all small noises he hears. Please do not take me wrong, and I like your cute dog very much since he was a fluffy puppy. However, I would appreciate it if you could keep him inside your house until 4 pm at least so that his barking's sound remains isolated. Without any doubt, that would help me get used to this new lifestyle. Thank you in advance for your comprehension. Regards, Emma
