[Dailydrool] Dogs and Alcohol

[Charlie Meyer]

Back in early 2000, before rescue and BROOD, I bought a puppy from a  
BYB (before I knew what BYBs were), named her eeyore (ATB).  I was  
still living inside the Beltway (Northern VA).  As a wee puppy, I used  
to stash eeyore in a satchel and sneak her on the Metro (Pre-9/11;  
probably be renditioned by the CIA to Gitmo for that now.  Ah, but I  
had been a naval officer and had been to Gitmo before.)

There's a watering hole called Rumors (19th & M) in DC. A 'fern bar"  
with a rep as a "meet market".  I slung gin in a saloon on Capitol  
Hill then, and pals of mine worked at Rumors.  One evening, eeyore got  
out of the satchel where she was snoozing, and peed on the floor, with  
loose change spilling from said satchel in the process.  Pals told me  
about it later.  My response: "Hey. she's a bartender's dog.  She got  
pished (ask Becky and Eleri what that term means if you've never been  
on the other side of the pond), but hey, she left a tip (the change) ."

ETOH and doggies aren't meant for each other, but I remember the  
stories. Yes, eeyore the puppy was a 'chick magnet', but I never saw  
any action from it.  Mine are all teetotalers now.
