Or, maybe it was not. Sounds as if you would have done things differently, in hindsight.
I never held anything against the dog. I resented the guests, who insisted the dog would be no problem, in forcing him on us against our wishes.
Many would say that we should have withdrawn the invitation, but we had reasons not to, which I will not go into here. I just resented our generosity being abused.
I am NOT a dog lover, but I do believe that it is good for kids to have pets. Due to neighbor/relative allergies, our last cat was not replaced, and our dog (my first dog) is excellent around children, and NOT a barker (submissive female rat terrier/chihuahua). She has earned my appreciation and respect, if not my affection.

She’ll work her way into your heart, eventually. And, leave a dog-shaped hole in it, when she leaves altogether too soon.
