[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what happened in the years after your confrontation with your sister about bringing the dog?  If it was clear that the dog was uninvited from that point on and she did not bring the dog, then you are right to be upset.  If, on the other hand, you allowed her to continue bringing the dog, then I'm not sure why you would expect something different.

It always surprises me that people have such strong opinions that dogs are never invited and it's overstepping to just bring them.  Both my family and my in laws (extended families on both sides) just assume you are bringing your dogs and that's fine with them.  No need to ask in advance.  Some families are just that way while with others pets are on an invitation only basis.  There is no right or wrong - only norms within a family.  Truthfully, sometimes I find the dogs easier to deal with than some of the kids.

Good luck dealing with this.  It sounds like you will need to do some tip toeing around your sister's feelings on this one.  [/quote]

Yes. What has happened with the dog in recent years?  [/quote]
