Should I have told the owners of a dog we watched about a $250.00 ticket?
We watched two dogs a few weeks ago and the male barked during the day while we were at work. The owner said that he does not bark when left alone in his crate witch they provided for him and one for his sister. I knew he was barking via our webcam. Well later that night the police came by with a 250.00 ticket for a barking dog. I texted the owner and they said sorry about that and suggested that we put the two of them in the same crate the next day. I texted back and stated we would take off of work to avoid another situation like that. I took 2 days and my wife took one day off. I took vacation but my wife did not get paid for her day off. When they picked up the babies they asked if there were any problems, I said no not since the first day.
My problem here is that they did not say anything about the ticket but, sorry to hear that. I did not tell them how much it was nor did I say anything else about it. The stay was a total of 200.00 so we lost 50 on the stay. I am going to go to court to contest it and explain what happened.
My question is... Should I have said something again when they picked them up or told them the amount of the Ticket?
