Alcoholic pets

Years ago, I had a friend whose dog would tip over beer bottles and lap up the spillings. The dog would get very agressive about people who would not give him a chance.

Now I have an alcoholic cat.

When I get home from work at 4:00 AM, I like to have a drink to relax from running the chicken s**t gauntlet coming home. According to an internet survey I read, in the ten miles from work to home, I go through four of the nation's worst 100 speed traps (not just speed, I've seen them ticket people for crossing railroad tracks after the train crossed while the gates are up, but the lights are still flashing.)

When I start to pour, the cat is there. If I don't let him have his fill, he won't let me sleep.

Do any of you have party animals in your house?

My dog likes beer, and loves girly drinks... Tipped over a pong cup of sour apple pucker and lapped it up, and that's when it got funner...

He was sensitive to light and sound the next day, but he was fun, and a real riot with the girls at the party (smelling lotsa carpet... I was jelious).


Never growled at me or anything when I moved the container, and licked my hand (wet doggy slobber) when I covered it

He didnt get aggresive either...
He was 12 at the time, britney spanniel

3 of our 4 dogs like beer, but I found that they won't drink it if it's flat...I poured about 1/2 of a can of Bud as a treat for the dogs, they all drank up...I put it back in the fridge, open, for a couple of hours...they would not drink the flat beer, but when I opened a fresh one, they all got thirsty again.

My cocatiel likes beer. She'll come out of her cage and beg for a sip from the can. One night I gave her a little too much and she wouldn't touch the stuff for a couple months. Musta been some hangover.

I got my friends dog drunk last summer, he puked all over his back yard and than took a huge dump on the living room floor. Never again.

My wife's little 7LB Boston Terrier loves Margarita's too, the dog will jump on furniture and do all sorts of things she normally won't do if she knows there's a drink around.

I had a co-worker at my last job whose girlfriend had a dog...he gave the dog a couple of drinks, it stumbled and fell down the basement stairs and broke its leg. They ran to the emergency vet, who came out and told them "I smell alcohol on the dog's breath, I can't set the leg until she sobers up"...he couldn't anesthetize the dog because he was afraid he'd accidentally kill it. Suffice it to say the girlfriend was not amused.

I didn't think a cat would ever do that. Not an adult cat, not knowingly.

Years ago during my first marriage, we had a little tuxedo kitten named Tuna Fish. My then-wife didn't drink much. She'd put some white rum, or maybe it was white creme de menthe, in a glass of milk and sip it as we watched TV, placing the glass on the floor.

One night we heard "lap, lap, lap," and looked down to see Tuna lapping up what he clearly thought was milk. We took it away, but he'd already gotten some. He climbed unsteadily up onto my lap, fell asleep, and snored.

He never touched the stuff for the rest of his five year life. I wish I'd been as smart.

i don't think alcohol is good for pets. I have a feral cat who likes cat-nip but gets very aggressive after a few bites.

Personally, I like to go out for some cat nip with friends after work. Oh, this was about PETS?

I had a boxer that any time I poured a scotch would go nuts. He'd be up in my face sniffing and whining. I started dipping my finger in it and letting him lick it. He loved it.

Then one night I had a poker party and I had the scotch flowing. My boxer was all up in my face. So I took a little bowl out and poured some in it. He lapped it up. Then he left me alone. I don't really remember what he did that night but never again did he want any scotch!

I have a kegerator made from an old fridge. I have a bowl on the ground for the drippings. My daschund love the drippings.
He never gets enough to get drunk I would not to that to my dog.

My brother had a ****zu that had a small amount of beer everyday. She lived longer than normal ****zus do, I forget the age.
The ****zu also consumed a bag of smoke one day, they took the dog to the vet because it would not move, the vet had no clue wait was wrong with the dog, the vet keep the dog over night, when they got home and went burn one they realized there smoke was gone. The next day they got there dog back she was just fine. The good old days.

I saw a video once where monkeys near a resort would steal the daquiris of the tourists and drink them. It was pretty funny.

Are you purposefully editing out the first part of ****zu? Or does it do it automatically?

Either way it is funny...
