ok so I am really looking for your opinion on a crappy situation I am in.


So as you know...I own a Pitbull, Sway. She is very good with people but not so much with other animals..outside of the ones in my house.

A friend of mine started coming over and hanging out with me and she started bringing her Pug. I would ALWAYS make sure both my dogs were pinned up when she came over as I knew...she would bring her Pug.

I have told her numerous times to call me when she is on her way over so I could put my dogs away since they don't like other dogs. She doesn't.

I specifically told her from the beginning, like months ago...SWAY DOES NOT LIKE OTHER ANIMALS SHE TRIES TO FIGHT THEM. I would tell her when she came over that it made me very nervous when she would bring the dog(s). She still did.

I thought if I siad that ..she would at the very least...be careful when bringing them over.

Well...last week she came over and no doubt...brought her Pug annnnd...her new 1/2 pound Chihuahua. She did NOT call me when she was on her way.

Sway was in Sara's room because I had the kitten in mine. My friend came to the door and Kyle let her in...She let her dog walk in by her side. I was in my bedroom and did not even know she came in. She came down the hall and Sara heard someone in the house so she opened her door to see who it was and that was it. Sway saw the Pug sitting in front of my bedroom door with me in in it and she rolled the Pug...she put a few puncture wounds on the Pug but nothing that looked too bad. I heard the noise and within seconds I was out there and it was over.

So she looked over her dog and said it only looked like a small mark on his side. We cleaned it and that was it.

I went to her house on saturday night and she shows me this knot...the size of a softball on his chest. I freaked! I had NO idea Sway had even bit him there! I told her she needed to get him to a vet that it looked way bad and needed to be checked. She blew it off and said he is acting normal to not worry.

*Even after all this happened she still brought the dogs over here.

So yesterday morning I got a text that she had to take the dog to the vet and it has an abcess on his chest from where Sway had bit him. He had to undergo surgery and they tubed him for a couple days for the abcess to drain.

Here's the deal.

When she told me about this I was in the middle of getting my kids ready for their first day of school so I made my apologies for Sway and told her I felt horrible. After I got them to school and was able to sit for a minute and think and I started to really worry...like about Roscoe and how that poor pup was in pain. However...I could not find it in me to be mad at Sway...She was protecting her home!

So I called her back and told her that I was terribly sorry that he got bit but that I am not taking any action towards Sway...because she was well within her rights in her home. But I was sorry for the situation in a whole.

I also told her that I could not afford to contribute to the bill right now since I just sent off 3 kids to school and I have other financial obligations. But I would help her in any way I can to take care of the dog and get him better. I never said I wouldn't give her any money...just not now.

So she sends me a myspace message yesterday that said how she feels we should have to repay her for at least...half of the medical bills.

Before I tell you what I said..I would like to know what you would say/do?

This is your dog..in your house...that bit another dog...and you didn't even KNOW this other dog was in your house.
