First, have a diamond set of ear rings ready to give her FIRST.
Seriously...just explain what happened. Don't spin it. Say you're sorry and this is why it's so important to be careful.
Or pretend the dog did it.

It was an accident!! plain and simple...They happen....Now just think how you would react if she had fallen!.... Would you be yelling & screeching about the damage to the paint? or Would you be concerned whether or not she hurt herself?

...blame it on her...act like you don't know anything about it
Her response, "well, I guess you didn't see the knick in the paint on the other side of the vette I did like 2 weeks ago"
