You know on further reflection, the really sad part of all of this is, depending on what the breed specific laws are where you live Meme, it may be better to just pay her off (then turf her and her friendship to the curb). I know here in Toledo we have so many problems with bad Pit owners that even good Pit owners with nice dogs are under the gun and hassled a lot.

As much as it galls me to say, it may be cheaper in the long run to give this chick the cash rather than have the dog warden, your house insurance agent and so forth at your door. Sucks but if she's been "searching the internet" she's looking for ways to make you pay that may cost you and Jeff a lot more than a couple of hundred bucks. Some friend...geesh!
