I am hoping to get some opinions on this issue. My friend watched our two dogs this weekend (from Thursday until Monday afternoon). I know that our dogs tend to rip up stuffed dog toys or regular stuffed animals if they are left laying around. I told my friend, who has a dog that loves stuffed animals but never chews them up, that my dogs would rip apart any stuffed animals that were left where they could get them. To get around the toy issue, I told her I would bring several toys from our house for the dogs to play with so that she could put her dog toys away to keep them from being destroyed. I brought over about seven or eight toys from squeaky toys to animals that are made without stuffing.
When I picked the dogs up today she told me that they had ripped up a dog bed that she had put outside for them. I was surprised at that since they haven't ripped up the ones we have at home, but I told her I would buy a new one, no problem. She also said that her dog really missed having stuffed toys to carry around and kept getting them out from where she (my friend) had put them. She said that they all got ripped up. I said "Oh, that's too bad", but didn't offer to replace them. I did not take any of our toys back with us either, so really I already gave her seven or eight toys though they weren't the stuffed kind her dog really likes.
Is it reasonable for me to replace the dog bed but not the toys since I had made it very clear that if they were out they would get destroyed and also took steps to avoid it by providing toys?
