Kicking is not okay. It will only make the little bastard more sneaky when it bites you. My suggestion would be to politely request that the dog remain kenneled or behind a closed door when you are there as it seems to dislike you. If they cannot (or will not) do that, suggest that any future get-togethers be at your house or a neutral site like a restaurant. IMO, her health is no reason to let her dog bite her guests. One hiss out of a cat, and it's closed up in the bedroom when we have visitors. That's not much of a problem for us though because most of our cats hide whenever strangers are in the house.
Until I read that last line, I was going to suggest you kick both the dog and the hostess.

Warning: Youth Soccer Update...
Spent the whole weekend at a soccer tournament where both son and daughter played. Yes, daughter finally got officially cleared Friday to return to full play.
Son's team had first game Saturday at 0730. Kids played like they weren't awake yet. HC talked to them about winning being fun and all but what we really want to see is improvement - win or lose. We saw regression Saturday morning. Had another game Saturday afternoon and played better but got beat. Team down one goal in final minute when they earned a corner kick. Son (not a very good player) remembered direction and set up on back side on corner of the 18 (penalty box) and got the ball coming through the box. He dodged two defenders and got a decent shot off but was just wide. I told him how proud I was of him that he remembered where to be and what to do without needing to remind him. Making that shot would have done him a world of good (with himself and his teammates - there hasn't been a lot of affection for him on this team), but what he did still lifted his spirits and confidence a lot. I even heard a couple of unsolicited "good jobs" from his teammates. Maybe all hope is not lost for 11 year old boys... Boys Sunday game was cancelled because apparently other team from South Dakota registered but never showed up. I'm just glad that we weren't supposed to play them Saturday morning. We saw other team warming up for quite a while then leave. If there is anything worse than playing an 0730 game it would be showing up for an 0730 game and then not getting to play.
Daughter made her debut with her team late morning on Saturday. Our parents gave her a rousing ovation when she came in the game. We were surprised that new coach put her in at forward (4-4-2 formation). She can play everywhere but apparently he told her that he likes her there. We expected her at defender or midfield. First game was against another local team that includes two girls who used to play with her on a traveling team and are classmates and teammates at her school. Won 1-0. After games teams award one opposing player a player of the game award. The two classmates brought it over to my daughter for her 9 month return from injury*. What a class move! Second game got moved from field to field to field due to running behind on the schedule. They won 3-0 in the waning light and daughter scored easy goal as keeper made save but ball deflected right down goal line for her to tap in. Warmed my heart to hear her teammates cheering extra loud for the comeback kid. They won Sunday game 4-0 so they made the championship game which they lost 3-1. So glad that she made it back.
*Classmates shared that the coach told them after the game that they knew that daughter's team was good before and now "they got that girl back from her ACL and she is really good". Daughter hasn't always gotten along with these girls but they have been really supportive of her on her come back.

I wouldn't but it is fun to dream...
Hostess is always very nice, but I'm not sure why she doesn't get that the dog needs to learn not to bite or stay kenneled when guests are present.
With the oil boom, I'm surprised ND is that close. I guess enough strippers have moved in.
The other 50 was the good part.Saw it on IMDb, queued it up on Netflix. That's 45 minutes of my life I won't get back. The other 50 I put to good use...I fell asleep.
We had the daughter's graduation ceremony last night. It was a nice ceremony.
Even though they ask that you don't cheer for each student, many families do and a couple of families brought whistles and a drum.

Had they been eating beans, the musical fruit?
Happy belated birthday @cowgirl836 and @VikesFan22 . I think I missed @SaraV's birthday too so happy birthday to you too.
I usually think, "I would be excited, too, that that kid is graduating." And it often isn't too far off the mark...
I guess it depends on how high strung you are...
You may kick small yappy back biting dogs.
It is also totally okay to raise both hands in the touchdown/field goal signal if you get good lift on the kick.
True story: I was eating bean salad when you posted you bathroom experience, @jcyclonee .
