[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be kind but honest and leave it at that.

Hi Marla. I’m really sorry, but I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I don’t feel comfortable going to the party with Fido at the house. I realize you are not concerned about her doing anything unsafe, but I am, and am going to have too much worry to enjoy the evening. If you’re willing to move it back to a restaurant, I’ll happily attend, but if not I wish you all a lovely evening and will connect at the next event.

If she pushes back, stay strong and simple. “I’m sorry, that just won’t work for me, but have fun!” And you can tell your other friends the same thing.[/quote]

I wouldn’t call her dog out.  Just say uncomfortable around dogs.[/quote]

See, I'd do the opposite. I would call her dog out unless you're truly scared of all dogs. Other people invited may also have dogs. I'm a huge dog lover and trainer who has two large dogs myself. I think it would resonate better that I was scared of this dog specifically vs someone with a phobia who freaks out at the sight of an 8 week Golden Retriever sleeping. She's choosing to own a dangerous, unsocialized dog, she deserves the blame not all dogs. [/quote]
