Thank you card money how much?

[Mildez]

When I got home I found our Dog was missing. She is like my 3rd baby and the kids adore her (more then each other) I was crying and in a huge panick thinking I'd find her dead or she was stole (she clearly looks like a valuable dog).

Well after finding she wasn't hiding or dead in the yard and looking in the most unlikely places I called the RSPCA whom gave me a number of a woman who found her whom I called.

This woman was 5doors down from me. She was very rude saying my dog was too thin (she is and its embarrassing but its not from lack of feeding. She is 7months old and having a growth spurt and extremely active) plus she hadn't been fed today so she looked worse then normal.

Any how after giving me the third degree (I am in tears and thanking her and the Lord that she was safe) about dog safety, her been too thin and that she flee'd her as she was scratching and clearly must have had flle's (she was fleed a week ago) etc I got her back. That was after providing evidence she was mine through photos on her registration papers.

Any how despite this woman been very rude and emplying my dog was better with her and how she planned to keep her if her real owner didn't come forward. I wouldn't blame anyone as she is just so beautiful I wanted to give her a thankyou card and some money. I was going to put $50 in a card thanking her for taking such good care of her and then my sister who was also with me said it was too much and how nasty and rude she was and she wouldn't give her anything. So I was then thinking I'd give her $20 but is that too stingy and not really expressing my gratitude enough? What would you do?

I would actually give a nice plant or a rose for the garden or something.. rather then a money gift card. or a nice box of chocolates etc..

[Kazbah]

I give scratchies not money .. Although maybe a nice pot of catmint ??

:yeahthat: I would definitely give a plant if her garden looks well cared for. If not, a nice bunch of flowers. I'd attach a card reiterating how grateful you are that she kept the dog safe... and leave it on her doorstep when I know that she's out so that I didn't have to listen to another lecture!!

I'm glad you got your dog back safely!

Personally I would just give a card with a heartfelt message, nothing else as it sounds like she was pretty rude to you.
But if you want to give something extra I would probably go with a plant instead of cash

[Laranna]

I wouldn't give money either. I'd probably just write a nice thank you card and leave it at that.

I'd go with a plant or some chocolates - or some wine. Money always seems a bit crude to me (although appreciated!)

[Cherished]

I agree with CheezelMonster it sounds like she was a bit rude to you, I don't give money either... Go with a card or some flowers, just a small gift is nice enough and thoughtful

[Izabella]

Wow she was kinda harsh to you. I would only give her a nice thankyou card and maybe chocolates. She was rude to you but I guess she could have not taken the dog in like so many other people would have

[Peg]

i wouldn't give her money, i think a card with flowers or a potplant or a box of chocolates would be better.

Personally, I wouldn't really give her anything after she spoke to you like that, but that's just me
