I am thinking the dog hates that collar they make him wear (body language). We put a tshirt, that said the same thing, on an Aussie operator in SL years ago.
There was a small story along with the picture of the K-9, it didn't copy when I downloaded the picture. The woman on her phone said the pup kept looking at the other passengers like it wanted to be petted. Beautiful dog nonetheless.
I get why the public isn't supposed to pet them. They are working dogs. I just wished they'd stop climbing into my lap and licking me all over like I am peppered in codeine.
"Well, Sir the dog indicated on you."
"What the heck he just gave me kisses?"
"SHE sat down, this is how they are trained to indicate."
"SHE climbed into my lap on her own."
"Yeah, Sorry Sir, I tried the same excuse to my wife regarding a lap dancer and it didn't work for me either. Now please remove your shirt and trousers and place them in the bin" LAX airport circa 2008
Hey - careful there, Funny Gunny! If I hadn't spent 12 years working on the front lines of a VA clinic I would find both of those hilarious! Only the slowest service catches the media's attention. I am sorry if you were stuck in that mire. PM me if I can do anything to get you through it!
Thanks Vanna, Gunny no longer exists, he died a slow, lingering death... Reincarnated as robndahood. Me. After successfully suing the VA, my Primary and others seem to pay more attention and appts are easier to get.
Thanks for the offer and for being a good VA employee.
