Many years ago, we had a very un-favorite relative invite herself to visit us and she brought her small dog with her–without telling us that she even owned a dog! At first we were outraged when she showed up, but it turned out that her dog was wonderful and MUCH more pleasant to be with than the relative. It made the relative’s unwelcome visit somewhat palatable. Since then we have both grown backbones, but we still laugh about the dog being so much more pleasant and companionable than her owner was.
