Well I have actually forgotten to bring a bowl in occasion too. I would not expect a serving dish, more like an old margarine tub. I do usually make sure that my dog is fully catered for though. I guess that they thought that they were doing you a favour by getting rid of the leftovers?

I have dogs but I agree with Calendargirl. Don't be a doormat and learn to say no.

If I invited people for dinner, I hope they would realise the invite didn’t include their dog also.

Would have said ‘no’ in the first place.

Recently I had a couple for dinner plus a couple of others. They asked if they could bring their dog to which I said fine (I like dogs).
Once here, they indicated that they’d forgotten a water bowl, could I provide one, which I did. After dinner, they said they’d forgotten to bring any snacks and could the dog eat the remains of the meal directly from the serving dish. I agreed, making a note to self to remember to sterilise the dish.
Afterwards, I thought, what a cheek! They’ve got no children and only had to think about the dog …… if it’d been me I’d have ensured I brought a drinking bowl and something for the dog to eat.
I know it’s not important in the great scheme of things but AIBU to be just a bit miffed?
