[quote=Anonymous]My NF has a dog that they keep secluded to the back part of the house near the garage and laundry room during the day. There is a baby gate that keeps him from getting into the kitchen, living room, etc. He's a nice dog and house trained, but likes to chew.

So yesterday, my charge and I were upstairs playing in her room for about an hour. We come downstairs and the dog has somehow gotten through the gate (this has never happened before, it was early in the morning so maybe MB didn't latch the gate well) and has chewed up one of my sandals basically to shreds. He chewed through the top straps, so even beyond cosmetic damage, they are physically unwearable. They aren't too terribly expensive, but they are my favorite pair and I wear them nearly everyday, so I'm pretty bummed.

MB comes home and is super apologetic, totally took the blame and said she probably didn't latch the gate good enough, and  says she'll reimburse me. I let her know how much they were, no problems, and went home for the day. So today, I get there and MB was already gone for the day. She gets home this afternoon and excitedly hands me a Michael Kors (!!!) bag with a pair of WEDGES in it. My size and everything, but they don't even mildly resemble my sandals. I don't want to be an ass, but they aren't even my style and this isn't what we agreed upon. I thanked MB, it was a little awkward but she was so excited and thought I would love them. Now I'm out of my favorite daily shoes and have a new pair of wedges that I doubt I will ever even wear. I don't have another pair of sandals to wear daily. I have a family and a lot of bills, don't have a ton of extra money to buy shoes. Like I said, my sandals weren't crazy pricey, but it was a big investment for me and they would've lasted me for years.

Not sure what to do. MB was pretty clear that she would reimburse me, I didn't realize that meant she'd go shopping for me and bring back something completely different. I would feel so terribly ungrateful if I told her "hey, this isn't what I wanted.", but I also would really like her to follow through on reimbursing me for my shoes. What would you do? This is such a strange and unique situation, I really have no idea what to do. [/quote]
