You have been more than fair. However the connection with your wife could prove a hinderance if she is not the owner of the company and they get mad. So, you might make the following offer. Considering you have kept the animal off the market until now you can offer to sell the animal to someone else. When the animal sells, if it sells for at or above the original agreed price, you gladly refund the money. If on the otherhand it sells for less, you refund only that portion of the money equal to the sale price. Or you could just be a good guy and give the money back out of the good grace of your heart.![]()
