to ask for my Hunter Wellies replaced?

[islanderin]

farmer neighbour's dog has been "after" my bitch in season. I don't let out her alone when she's this way. Twice the neighbour's dog has come baying at our door. The first night he ate the leather saddle off our rocking horse at the front door, but last night because it was so late, and wet, I let him in, gave him a bath and dried him, put him back outside. This morning, he had eaten a big chunk of both my wellies which were outside. His owner says he's been known to do that and offered to pay- but is not known to pay and even on Ebay they are expensive wellies, 45~+ ..AIBU for asking for replacements? TYou.

@Sparklingfairylights I bet you agree with @purpletigers too, I do 😂 Dunlop puroforts all the way!

I don't understand why everyone is telling op to get her dog done, why can't the male have his balls off?

Also " Are you ok? Because you really don’t sound like you’re at all well " made me lol

I'd like a before and after of the bathed dog, please. Sat next to the rocking horse, looking wistfully into the window toward your bitch.

Is anyone else picturing Little House on the Prairie?

no normal farmer would wear hunters

That's not quite true, some of us have ancient good quality pairs from before they became Chinese mass produced shit. Mine are probably antiques by now.

thank you for your message, but my front door doesn't say "eat all the footwear you like." Even if your guests didn't say anything, bet they were thinking it... @LIVIA999

Was he T-rexing?

Um. Why isn’t your dog neutered.

@QueenBeex because OP has no control over the other dog’s testicles. 🙄

I think it's nice that you bathed the dog! Especially if it's been raining and cold! Poor thing must have been filthy. Maybe I'm just a crazy dog person. Sorry I have no input regarding the wellies

I stayed with a friend whose dog chewed my new wedges. She saw it, she looked at me, I looked at her, she didn’t say anything. She was very well off but did not offer to replace. I had to suck it up as that’s what dogs do. Still gutted over the loss 3yrs later

🤷🏽‍♀️

Barking.

This looks like it has the potential to go classic, it's certainly batshit enough for it.

OP I can't tell if you're eccentric, pissed or winding us up but you are funny.

I was wondering who would foot the bill if the dogs wellie supper had left him in need of veterinary treatment?

Agree with other PP, hunter wellies are rubbish. Aigle are the way to go for comfort but I know a lot of farmers favour Dunlop.

Op yes get the money for the boots. No yanbu and are you a character from a Jilly Cooper novel? If not you jolly well should be! Hope both pooches and rocking horse have a more peaceful night!

People are telling OP to get her dog spayed because that’s in her control, obviously of course the other dog should be done as well but that’s not in her control.

YABU to leave overpriced wellies outside then get upset when they’re damaged.

YABVU and bloody weird for bathing your neighbours dog

“AIBU?”
“Yes,”
“Non.”

What do you suggest, she take the neighbor's dog to the vet and have him neutered? Do you really not understand that her dog is the only one that's under her control?

But he’s already offered to pay you. Why are you wondering if it’s reasonable to ask for replacements when he’s already offered? Just take him up on his offer. Whether you think he’s actually likely to stump up the cash is a separate issue, but there’s no need to deliberate on whether or not to ask for it.

I’m also at why you’d bother to bathe and dry a dog (the same dog you’re apparently trying to keep away from yours) and then put it back out in the rain!

Yabu to strip the natural waterproofing and insulating oils out of the coat of an outdoor dog who isn't even yours.

Why doesn't your rocking horse live inside?? or in a stable
