I couldn't do that - give her a check and stop payment. I just couldn't. Plus, I think she WOULD have recourse if I did that. Couldn't she just call the sheriff and say, "This lady bought a dog from me, and then stopped payment on the check. So I want to go get the dog back." I think she could. At any rate, that's not exactly legal, is it? Couldn't she take me to court, or turn me over to collections?
I was thinking she's already facing court proceedings for her son, and wouldn't want to try to sue you as well, and the fact that you know that she didn't originally pay for the dog as she claimed would make her hesitate to bring it to court.
