My "Beer Dog"
« on: December 17, 2005, 05:30:42 PM »
Howdy All …

A couple of nights ago I mentioned on the squad channel that my dog had just brought me a cold beer. Of course, one of the squaddies cried “BS!”…

I had to take the pictures to prove it to him, so I thought I would share them with you too.

Her name is “Maddy” she is an 8-year-old Golden Retriever.

About 5 years ago my daughter began to grow tired of fetching my beer, so she started giving them to the dog and saying, “Take it to Daddy.”

The dog will not set the beer down or stop looking until she finds me. If I’m in the garage, they just give the dog a beer and open the back door.

Of course sometimes the cans are a little slimy. The best ones are the ones that the wife or kid sends with the dog when I have not even asked for one!




Yes, I know.. It's cheap American swill... But they come in a 30 pack for 10 bucks, and I am on a budget!

CHEERS!

The dog is realy just looking for a canine friendly opener.
Since no such item exists, it is just a matter of time before your Maddy, in her quest, happens upon you & "delivers" "your" beer.
If you go on like this much longer she will become embittered & frustrated  
The search for a canine operable gun will the commence.

Lord, I cannot begin to describe how jealous I am.




A Golden Retriever.

A Golden Retriever bringing me beer.

A Golden Retriever bringing me beer as I do Guy stuff.





I hope you rot in hell, you bastard.

LOL Goaly!

While you're at it, post the pic of your awesome potty/computer chair. I think I still have that one saved somewhere, if you don't have it.

Our last dog was a Golden Retriever, and that dog was fantastic.  Losing him to cancer was very painful, but he was over 13 yrs old and that is how it goes.

I do think you need to get him a small basket  he can carry by the handle so your beer can isnt all slimy.

Soft mouth is a benefit in a retriever, bet if you've hunted her that she's never "chewed" the game when retrieving...

Any large breed dog that lives over the age of 5 is a good age.

Many German Shephards and Labs die of bloat at the age of 5yrs or older.

At work we had to put down a doby that had stomach cancer, stomach lining was like 5inches thicker then it was suppose to be, and she was in extreme pain....

We held her the entire time while we injected her and we cried forever, then we had to turn around and watch a puppy die from Parvo and Kennel cough the next day.

Lets just say last weekend was not fun..

Never heard that one about the 5yr limit on Shepherds....
All mine and the many breeders I know in Germany might disagree:)
All of mine have lived to at least 12............

All my shepards and big dogs lived 5 yrs+ unless a vet messes up. Thanks for trying to cause a depressing weekend Hawkie.

Rotties have relatively short lives. My oldest is 8, and healthy, but neither of her parents lived much past 8. The one we rescued is close to 5 now, and is in good health.

I lost my male Rottie pup to parvo because my wife took him to the wrong vet. Our regular vet actually saves about 90%+ of his parvo patients that are on their feet and not passing blood. My mother-in-law's vet ain't worth a damn, that's who my wife took my male pup to. Sorry bastard didn't even call me and tell me my pup died. In fact, he didn't tell me my pup died when I called the 1st time. Then he said he threw him away. He sent me a bill for $85, I told him I'd stomp $85 out of his ass.

My black Lab lived to be 13, my bluetick lived to be 14 or so. My Manchester mix died last Friday, she'd been with my Mom for 5 years or so, and was 16.
The Golden's we had lived into their teens. My brother's Dalmation (used to play with my Manchester mix) died a month ago at 15.
