Because of her dog?
Its a newish friend so haven't been to her house as yet. I saw her out with her dog however at the park and he jumped up at me and slobbered all over my face. I tried not to show my disgust and panic but was left unsettled. Now she keeps asking me to visit her at her home. I feel too embarrassed as a nearly middle aged woman to say I don't want to because of your dog......

Just tell her you are allergic to dogs

You need to be assertive and say what you are uncomfortable with or things will stay as they are.

FWIW Inconsiderate dog owners are one of my pet peeves so I get it.

She may not like it but you'll get no further without honesty

YANBU, and you just need to say "Sorry, I'm not comfortable with dogs. Let's meet at a café instead."

Thanks, just feel embarrassed
