[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 578511, member: 1233"] I had a friend in college who adopted a shelter dog named Boozer. First party he had, we all learned why. Dog wasn't six mos old, but some large breed and wasn't small. He would walk up to a bottle of beer, put his mouth over it and toss his head up and drain in into his mouth. Rule for anything at his house was that if you put your beer down, you owed $200 toward a vet bill, payable immediately. Cause too many idiots thought it was funny to watch the poor thing stagger around. They were not there the next day when the poor dog was sick. The owner was ruthless about the money too. On the plus side, there wasn't much cleanup after parties at his house, because everyone watched their drinks like a hawk. We never did figure out how the dog was taught to do that, but a complaint to the shelter made them investigate the foster family that had been raising the puppy. After the complaint, other people came forward. The family denied it, but over five years worth of fostered dogs all had the same habit. Animal control in that city was on them like you would not believe after that point, and every rescue they tried volunteering with got a file of complaints about alcoholic dogs. It was strange, and I cannot think why anyone would do that to a dog or cat. Cap'n won't be getting any more alcohol here. We are not big drinkers and the only reason husband had poured a drink is that he has this cough that nothing is helping. He is on month 3 of it, and the doctor said when it is bad at night to use alcohol because it is still the best cough suppressant. From now on, only in drinks with lids! [/QUOTE]
