Just checking in to see how Merlin and his humans are doing. Have any of you gotten any rest.
I think all the advice you've gotten is very good. I would just add that most homeowner's policies cover dog bites. It might be worth asking the woman if she has coverage, as long as she is paying the premiums it would at least be worth a call for her to check on her policy. Unless she has had several similar claims, her annual cost shouldn't go up based on one claim.
Please keep us posted on how Merlin is doing.
