Dogs of C-Kennel by Mick & Mason Mastroianni for November 13, 2020

“Watchin’ the paint dry on that bus bench.”

“Ahm… the bench with a man sitting on it… with a $700 business suit on?”

(Grinning widely) “Yep.”

There actually is a beer for dogs. It’s non-alcoholic, so safe for the beasties.

We had a dog that was good natured but he would eat pyracantha berries in the winter and turn into one very mean dog. We had to remove the bushes. I think the berries may have fermented to alcohol.

That’s why Snoopy prefers root beer.

My Hobbies: watching paint dry, the grass grow, collecting used tennis balls, and inspecting the insides of my eyelids

I would no more give alcohol to a pet than to a child, but I never considered any of those might become angry drunks if I did! Now my ex…

Back in the early 1960s, (before all the don’t feed the dog… warnings) my parents had a boxer dog who LOVED beer. While they were stationed at an Air Force base, the officers had a picnic, and of course Sam begged for beer from everyone. My dad said the dog got drunk, and they found him snoring under a picnic table. He had to carry a drunk, 80lbs boxer dog home. lol Sam lived to be almost 13.5 years old. He was a great dog.

Folks are jumpin’ to conclusions here, the brew tea too.

At my Dad’s bar an old couple would buy their chihuahua a short beer every day for lunch. It was the only laid back chihuahua I ever met.

One night as I was finishing my swing shift security job in downtown Portland, I found a field supervisor waiting for me. He had a “special” for me. They had just painted the exterior of a movie theater at a mall that my company had the contract for. The contractor was worried about the scaffolding. So I spent all night in a parking lot watching paint dry and getting paid overtime to do it. The overtime didn’t help.

Dunno about dogs but I had a cat once that was a very mellow drunk – he absolutely loved dry stout beer and would demand about an ounce any time I opened one. I’d let him drink his share off the top of the mug and while he napped in the corner I’d finish the rest.
