PLEASE help: My Golden Retriever has a substance abuse problem!!!

[HamdenRice]

I think my 1 year old Golden Retriever, Teddie, has a substance abuse problem. Yesterday, Thanksgiving, I had about 15 people over, and I made a drinks, a variation on white Russians, called an orgasm -- kalua, baily's, vodka, creme de cacao, and milk. Everytime someone put down a drink on the coffee table and stopped paying attention to the drink, Teddie would be there and slurp it up. Whenever my significant other (SO) and I have a beer after work, he also slurps up any beer that is not attended to. One adult family member smokes a medicinal plant that is not tobacco and whenever it is left on a surface, he scarfs it up.

Tonight, the day after Thanksgiving, I am home alone with Teddie and I was making a few orgasms for myself, but he got to my drinks, so I had to keep making them. This caused me to have more drinks than I ordinarily would have. (Does it show???) So I got disgusted and made Teddie, the dog, a special extra strong drink of vodka, milk and left over orgasm, and he just lapped it up without getting tipsy. Well, to be honest, now after several drinks, Teddie seems to have crashed.

But the question remains, does my little dog have a substance abuse problem?

1. Teddie must come to his own conclusions

Only he can be the judge on whether or not he has a problem;-)

But aside from that, alcohol is a very dangerous substance to give dogs. Teddie needs to learn some manners or it could easily kill him.

2. He needs help

Hold the glass for him. That's what I do for our dog. After all, what are friends for???

3. Yes, it shows.

What fun we could have with this one. I'll refrain; really.

Alcohol is not good for your dog. Some training, some limits, and some preventative measures will keep him on the wagon.

Just keep your orgasms away from Teddie.
