Who cleaned up after Sadie? My thinking is that if the condo association paid for cleaning, perhaps you might offer to reimburse them. Would it do any good to seek a legal opinion regarding this matter? Perhaps a letter from a veterinarian who is willing to testify that Sadie's disposition is indeed compatible with your current living arrangements, and maybe that person can also stress that the incident which occurred was highly unusual, an isolated incident? I might also contact some animal advocacy groups to get pointers regarding how to approach the condo committee. Surely others have faced a similar situation and I'd want to know who may have met with success, and borrow some strategies. Just some ideas I wanted to share. I wish you the very best and please update us when you are able. Faith

P.S. Why don't you offer to pay a deposit to the condo committee as a goodwill gesture, and tell them to hold onto it in the very unlikely event Sadie causes any damage? Better to pay a deposit then the $50k to $100k to relocate as you mentioned in your narrative.

All good suggestions indeed.

Take a few deep breaths...

I am sure everything will work out fine. No need to panic. If your condo has allowed other tenants to have larger than 35 lb dogs then perhaps you may wish to get together with them and all put your heads together. Then approach the Board with some equitable solutions/compromises.

Keep your chin up.

Hope it all works out for the best Condo's blow
