Hello every one!
We have had a couple really nice sits before.
The one we did the last few weeks was fine as well. We are in Belgium. We left yesterday, left the house clean and shiny. A week ago we had noticed a crack in the window of her veranda. We never had been in that corner of the house except for a time we played with the energetic and cute dog.
Here is a description of this room.
In the corner of the veranda the two window-doors come together in a corner. In that corner the owner had placed a large beanbag. We might have sat in it once and we were playing with the dog that once, throwing him in the bean bag. He is a tiny and light dog. A week later we noticed a crack in the window. We figured we hadnât seen it before because the bag was in front and concluded the crack must have been there before. Because otherwise, what could have caused it? The weight of the tiny dog? One of us sitting down in this beanbag? It didnât sound logical to us that this would have anything to do with us.
The owner sent us a message about the window after she came home. She told us she was very disappointed, we should have told her some things. She sent a picture of the window and told us it wasnât cracked before and we should have told her. We assured her we thought the crack was in the window already. She said she had pictures of the window being completely fine before. She also said she knew exactly how it had happened. How? We must have pushed/put the beanbag against the window and âwhen you sit in it, it does thatâ. Make cracks in the window, she means.
We are not debating the window cracked while we were there, we are debating that we had anything to do with it. As said, we hardly spent time in this corner of the house. She told us the bag was set against a stool when wee arrived. Possible, we donât remember exactly where everything was. We didnât move the bag though. She told us we moved the bag and then used it, causing the cracking of the window. To us this sounds at the very least weird that a window would crack under the weight of someone sitting in a beanbag against it (or a small dog jumping in it).
Now she is upset, we told her we are sorry that she had to come home to this but we have nothing to do with this broken window. She asks for contributions. No price, just âa contributionâ. We havenât responded, this was yesterday. We are taking contact with THS support as well.
We feel bad about this situation. We took good care of the dog and the house and donât really know what to do now.
Does anyone have experience with a similar situation or some advice on what to do?
Thanks a lot and take care.
