Carrie,

I laughed out loud at your ice cream story It's hilarious!!! It was so funny, I read then read again and laughed again

We had a yellow lab (he was said to be lab/golden ret. mix but he did not look to have any GR in him, he looked all lab!)for 13 years and he was not very food driven. I am not sure why. He's the only lab I have had and, by the sounds of it, he was very unusual in his lack of food obsession At the dog park which I take my dogs to, there are quite a few labs and all of them seem to be real food driven. If ANYONE walks into that park with treats in their pocket, they had better HOPE one of the dogs don't smell what they have because the dogs lose all training and will RIP that pocket to shreads to get what's inside! I made the mistake, before I realized how food driven some dogs are, and had to run out of the park before the dogs ripped off my coat and shreaded it! They worked as a team (maybe 6 or 7 of them) and every time I'd turn to avoid one, another snached my pocket filled with treats....long story short, they ripped both pockets, even tho I only had treats in one pocket! The "brat pack" were all labs except for one shepherd mix!

I will NEVER walk into that dog park with a pocket full of treats again Live and Learn.
