What to say if your House Mom has a pet...

[WeSpeakSunshine]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum, so bear with me. Our sorority was just informed that we'd have a new House Mother in the fall. This is great news; however, she comes with a standard poodle. Although our house is thrilled about our new additions, I was just wondering what a good way would be to market the dog during Formal Recruitment.

I know having a dog is a large responsibility, and there is always the risk of allergies/attacks/everything else you could think of, but that's not what I'm here for. We've weighed all the risks, trust me. Now the task is just how to tell PNMs that yes, we have a house dog, and yes, she will live in our house mom's apartment, not the rest of the house.

Is there any way to put this in kosher terms, or anyone who has gone through the same situation? We want to let the PNMs know, but not in a harsh way. And the least we want to do is become known as "the house with the dog."

Thanks so much in advance!
