Save Our Pets

My husband and I enjoy having friends over for card games
during the winter and backyard cookouts during the summer.
We have decided not to have children for a few more years,
but we do have a cat and a dog that we rescued from a shelter. Our
closest friends for many years now have two children who chased and
poked at our animals last time they came over. Lucy the dog and Misty
the cat aren’t used to little ones, so they run and hide. What should
we do? We like these people and want to continue having them over.
Is it out of line to tell them to leave their children home when they
come visiting us? _ Radhika Som, Gurgaon
