Work Meeting or Dog Acupuncture?

I started my current job in April 2020. Have never been in-house because of Covid. And I'm making about $10K more per year than I was at my last job (2014 to 2019). 

But we have a final meeting tomorrow about a product that's about to go out to the customer. The new boss (as of August 1) said she can't participate in the meeting because her dog has an acupuncture appointment.

I like this job; the money is good. But I'm psychologically repelled by the fact that the new boss declines to view a final product because of her dog's acupuncture appointment.

Acupuncture for a human isn't a reason to miss an important meeting. Acupuncture for a dog is many times less serious, bordering on stupid. Failure to review a work product because of dog acupuncture is downright negligent.

Is this really OK? Surely such idiocy can't be OK.
