Torture

How to torture an eight month old Labrador Retriever?

First, spend three hours at a women's hockey game with kids dropping popcorn right next to you. Stop at a pet store and walk the aisles where food has spilled and make him LEAVE IT. Then, have dinner at a barbecue restaurant for an hour and a half with the aromas of meat tickling his nose. Finally, spend three more hours at a men's hockey game with spilled soda on the floor nearby. Make him DOWN when play is in session so he can't watch the action.

It wasn't all bad. Echo started the day with a three mile run. At Mounds Pet Store, he gladly accepted a few treats from the employees. Our Marley look-a-like also received many hugs and pets from children and a few from adults.
