[quote=Anonymous]If he lives locally the answer is to tell him clearly "no dog" next time and that if he brings the dog he will have to take it back home...and actually follow through.

If he doesn't live locally, I suppose you can either clear out a room for the dog to be put in or book a nearby pet friendly hotel and demand he take it there for the dinner time (which I don't now know if you can afford or if he can afford or if this is logistically possible). You could also provide him with names of dog sitters or service local to you. Ask if he wants that as his Christmas gift.

It is super awkward and awful feeling, but you always have the right to say "I am sorry but your dog can't come in." You can also say "you can't tie it up on my property or leave it in the car because it's too cold for that and I can't have my neighbors reporting it, because they will."

It really sucks when a-holes do things that put people in positions to respond in ways that make them feel like they are jerks. [/quote]
