If you have a guest, you ought to be polite. Offer them coffee, sit and talk. However if he invited her without asking you if it was convenient, and you had things to do, I see nothing wrong in saying that this is not a time you're available, you have to supervise homework, make dinner, walk the dogs. If he brought someone over for play after school let out, then I'd throw them both out. I expect that in front of the small people, everyone should act in a manner that is appropriate. And coming on to him is inappropriate for them to see. But he knows you have large, protective dogs and yet did not bother to mention it to her? He owes an apology to her for that and to you for sticking you with a guest when he knew you had work, and to the small people for subjecting them to her. You however owe her an apology for not offering her an explanation when she arrived that this was not a convenient time. And if you were deliberately rude, you owe one for that. If she knew you were not expecting her, then she owes you one for showing up unannounced expecting you to drop everything to entertain her. Basically, you all could do with a course in manners.
