May be you can just send him a message as if nothing happened and ask him for his help. Make sure you don't put any emotions in it. Keep it very professional, imagine writing a report for your supervisor or you can apologize but without putting any pressure on him.

Option 1: no apology
I am scheduled to work for the next 5 days on a 12 hour shift, if will be beneficial for the well being of the dogs to have someone coming, please let me know if you are available to help in this matter. Just as a reminder, the little dog had surgery and need to stretch his legs on a regular basis to improve his mobility.

Option 2: with apology
I apologize for my last message, I have been quite overwhelmed lately with work and a few other issues, I realized it might have been offensive for you. Do you think you might be able to help me with the dogs, I am scheduled to work the next 5 days on a 12 hour shift, I know it's a short notice, but any help is really welcome, the little dog really need to stretch his legs on a regular basis to improve his mobility, please let me know if you might be available.

Those are what is coming to my mind right now, if somebody has other suggestions please don't hesitate.

MLC can transform them into real monsters. My husband also was totally heartless, the kids kept asking me why I married him for almost 3 years. My answer "He was not like that, he was totally different".

One day at a time, with a glass of wine... and a few friends
You will survive and thrive, I know it doesn't seem like it right now but trust me you will.

Life must go on, something my mom taught me very early on. So even if you wait for him, keep living your life, you still can be happy even without him.

Good luck for this week, that's a tough schedule.
