Looonng story short, my Neighbor is asking us to pay the dog warden fees after we thought a dog had escaped and gotten into her garden. Turns out it was her dog. She had tried to warn us with a note that I didn't see.
We gave her £30 as it was the originally price but it shot up to £80 because the warden had to bring him back, otherwise they'd find him a new home the next day. Which I call BS on as dogs are meant to stay for 7 days by law before being found a new home.
Really she should pay the extra £50 because she could have collected him the day after.
I'm actually worrying about saying to her "No sorry" so much so it's giving me panic attacks.
Anyone have any advice how to tactfully say we won't pay? I don't want an enemy for a neighbor.
