We had a few friends round at the weekend, most of whom had small children (age range from several weeks old to age 6). One friend turned up with a new dog (not yet house trained)without asking us if this was ok.
I have a bit of an aversion to dogs at the best of times, and DH and I are both allergic to them too.
I was thoroughly taken aback by it. To be fair, they mainly kept it in the garden, running around (where it was generally ok behaved but it did chase several toddlers, including mine, and scared them a bit) but it did roam about on our carpet a bit too, before being retrieved periodically.
I didn't huff and puff, but I do feel a bit miffed - am I being unreasonable to think this was a bit rude of my friend? (I had no idea she was into dogs - she's never owned one before and I didn't know she was getting one). (Even if she had asked, I am not sure if I would have found it in myself to say she couldn't bring it, as I would worry that was rude too...)
