Yes, she was expelled. Didn't play well with others. In fact, didn't play with others at all. Flat out, refused to have anything to do with others. Except the staff. Loved the staff.
Who is she? Parker, one of our two therapy dogs. Our other dog, Maisie, wasn't expelled, apparently played well with others.
Trish took both dogs to a high-end dog hotel. The pups spent 4 hours there yesterday, to see if they could be accepted into the elite company - of dogs that did play well with others.
If I ran the dog hotel, I would have said, "So what? Who cares if she doesn't want to play with other dogs? She likes to play with Maisie."
Trish figures it's Parker's training. T trained her to stay away from other dogs because doing so, conflicted with the training and therapy dog work. She took it in stride, though. Trish, not Parker: got a large charge out of it - despite the 6 hours wasted in Spokane. Not totally wasted, though: she's pleased that she got to shop for clothing she didn't really need (in my view, not her's). In my view, there's no such thing as a woman with too many clothes.
In her defense, Trish donated a few pairs of pants recently, which only left about 150 pairs.
