My niece and her husband came to visit for a few days and brought their Chihuahua with them. He picked up a few fleas from our cats and she was upset. She decided to help herself to a tube of our Advantage and give it to her dog on my brand new $1000 Dining Room table. Four big drops of the medicine burned thru the layers of finish and bleached the bare wood underneath. She never asked, nor did I ever give her permission to use the medicine. In fact, I had previously told her and her husband not to use the drops because of his age, (4 months), and told her to give him a bath before they ended their visit and he would be fine once they left the house. It is going to cost $300-$500 to repair the table and we know it will never be perfect again. The other option is to order a new top from the furniture store at $800. Since I'm paying for this furniture for the next 4 years, and since she chose to do this without my permission and was careless about it, shouldn't she pay for it?
