I'm sorry, but if this 'friend' knows your situation, and knows the actual cost of the doggies, and has only offered to pay $125.00, It really doesn't sound like she is much of a friend, and I'm sure you could do better. Sweet that you are worried about hurting her feelings....

I would just explain that you cannot cover the $75.00 additional for her to have one of the dogs, and if she is serious about owning one, she'll need to pay you the whole $200.00. Again, that is a statement of fact, and nothing in that statement should cause her to have hurt feelings. You told her you 'might' be able to let her have one for $125.00, but after reviewing your finances, you have realizied that you really can't afford to do that. A true friend would understand completely.
