I have a good friend who regularly invites my husband and me to dine with her at her home. My husband likes my friend, but he hates her dog and refuses to attend these dinner parties because he says her dog is untrained and unruly. He (the dog, not my husband) jumps on guests and sits by the table begging throughout dinner--it IS very annoying. So, I go to her house without him and I usually make some excuse for his absense. This has been going on for about a year.
Recently, my friend has asked if my husband and I are having problems because he never accompanies me. She has also asked me if he doesn't like her or her cooking since he avoids her dinners.
How can I tell her the truth without hurting her feelings? She LOVES this dog as if it were her child. The truth would devastate her.
Please do not recommend that we all go out for dinner instead. My friend really loves entertaining in her home.
Also, please note that my husband does not hate all dogs--just this one!
