Should I show that I'm hurt when my employer let's me down?
My employer broke a promise on a more personal than work related issue. Upon applying I mentioned I would like to introduce a diabetes assist dog to the office. They liked the idea and in the following months we talked about it a couple of times. I moved because my landlord in my old flat wouldn't allow dogs. We talked to all other employees and during the talk they seemed ok with it. I started to make the flat dog safe, I searched for a trainer, prepared a lot and started looking for a suitable dog.
Now, after telling my employer for several weeks that I'm actively looking for a dog, they talked to me and said they changed their decision. The reasons are understandable and fair, it concerns other employees and their health. In other words, my right to bring a dog is gone.
Understandably I am quite sad and had a hell of a night. All that I've prepared is useless now and the emotional involvement I already had doesn't help. My question is, how much of this should my employer see? Is it more professional to put makeup on, get smiling and proceed like nothing happened? I am quite hurt and I am not sure if they should believe everything is just fine, on the other hand it's only partly their fault. I would be glad for any tips about how to appear and maybe how to cope with it professionally.
