Besides, children love being with their pets over Christmas.
Is their dog bad? You didn't imply that it was a bad dog and you already own a dog, so how much work could one more dog be?
So there you go! Problem solved! OP, no way would this fly in my house. No dog, no sister. They can stay in a hotel.
