FM, she might like some of these other crazy southern women. She might not function till she's lickerd up.You might have to run to the store and get her about 4 deep in a 6 pack before she finds the deer. Lord keep the clear stuff in the Mason jar away from her.

We all drink before we hunt you know that

I had a Boxer that would stare at me till I put a shot on a saucer for him to lick up. That's a pretty pup, wife made me throw 3 deer legs from the freezer a few weeks ago from helping someone train one last year.

My setter LOVES beer. Well, she loves everything but she REALLY loves beer!

"imagine a pit bull on a mean drunk." I got 2 ex-wives.

My pits were WAAAY nicer than my ex-wife. Would like to get my mastiff on a track. She seems to have a good nose.

That is a great pic

Don't want to be a party pooper, but giving alcohol to dogs is a very very bad idea

I used to drink beer....now I buy bows!

I still drink beer AND still buy bows.

And as long as you're going to give her beer, at least give her a good one.

All my dog gets is to lick the drops from the top of the bottle when I'm done.

BTW......horses will lick beer from your hand too. And why not? It's made of all the things they like to eat.

O'doul's would probably be better for them. Trapper likes it when I pour a smidge on the garage floor, but not from the bottle. His nose is too sensitive to the fermentation/carbonation and he turns his head away. I won't let him have more than a 'sip'

Bet he'd eat one for free... :)

FM, That's why a dog is man's best friend right there. The boxer I mentioned, also loved Reese's cups and Coke. Being from Georgia he had no use for Pepsi or other soft drinks. He ate his Jim Dandy dog food mixed with our food, and had to have Eggs in the morning. He had been hit by 3 cars on the dirt road I lived on, and bitten twice by a Rattlesnake. He had a nice heated dog house but would get a tobacco sheet and lay in the front yard between the front door and the road, I got up plenty of mornings and seen frost on the dog but he would have it no other way. Chasing the ladies at 18yrs old finally got him, cut his leg on a Barb wire fence to the bone. It nicked a pin in his leg from one of the car inncendents, the vet said the surgery alone would do him at his age so we put him down. To use a phrase that is common in Georgia, he was a "DGD". Had a full blooded Chocolate Lab that would trail a deer and sit beside it and bark till you got there. Never taught that dog a thing, someone stole that dog when he was about 2 years old. Never had any more to measure up to them.

Had to always keep an eye on my first English Bulldog "Dixie", she was a tosspot. I set a spare down unopened in front of her on a fishing trip one day. I heard a crunching noise behind me and I turned around and she had "shotgunned" my last beer! My last two have been teetotalers....lips that touch alcohol will never touch theirs. And the current traitor "Roxie" will run and tattle to my wife as soon as we get home...ol' heifer!

Trapper can't get enough to eat, and will drool visibly, running right down on the floor while I make him wait for his bowl of food. He is good about waiting, but once he starts, he inhales it. I have learned to put water in his dry food to 'slow him down'. Jake, you have to coax and plead with to eat nowdays. He was always like that actually. He is not an eating machine like Trapper. Consequently, I have to severely ration Trappers food or he'd eat himself obese. They both love their venison though, and you don't have to ask Jake twice to eat that.

Information that may be beneficial in the future, I have heard that there is a canine alcohol dependency treatment clinic in Alabama.

Not surprised... :)

I have a neighbor who likes his beer a little too much. One day I looked out and saw him sharing his beer with my choc. Lab - a sip for him, a sip for the dog...

Now, when I crack open a beer, the dog sits in front of me and begs!

This weekend I saw a tshirt with the state of WI. In side the state it said, "My state teaching your state how to drink since 1860." Bama's got nothing on WI. Of the top 20 cities we have 11. If that's something to brag about???

Making this dog related. I had a yellow lab that if you gave him a beer he'd chug it. Put 16 oz in his dish gone without stopping. In a cup gone. I could tell stories. Thing about labs, he was as friendly sober as after a few beers. And that's friendly. Before he learned no and come, he'd run 600 yards just to say Hi to someone. Died at 9 of liver cancer.

Nico RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bowmania

I had a lab years ago who would take a sip of beer. He also liked me to share my Copenhagen with her.

Actually you don't have a problem. Human treats are cheaper than dog treats. That because the smart marketing people know how we spoil our pets. I buy pig ears for my son's dogs for $1.50 each. Two of those will just about pay for a bag of chips. If your pooch likes Bud and chips you're getting off cheap.

My black lab acts like he is starved all the time and he will eat anything but raw lettuce, which shows he has a pretty high dog IQ. Yesterday he was sitting beside my wife as she was cutting up fresh zucchini and waited patiently for a hung of it. He loves fresh garden stuff...and grapes, which are also supposed to be "bad" for dogs. We also had a Chihuahua that lived to be 20 years old (140 human years) and she loved M&M's.

'I had a yellow lab that if you gave him a beer he'd chug it. Put 16 oz in his dish gone without stopping. Died at 9 of liver cancer.' Sorry to hear that Bowmania, but as Phil was saying.... :/ Ya should have stuck to feeding him the brats and you drink the beer yourself.

Have heard that grapes can cause kidney failure in dogs, and it is cumulative over time. Just a word of concern... Our dog loves concord grapes and ate them right off the vine until we found this out, no more...

I use ice cubes for dog treats. My dog loves them and if she hears you open the freezer she comes running from the other end of the house. They're safe, abundant and best of all CHEAP!

FeM, LOL! Good one, me, from metro... 8^O I live 4 1/2 hours north of NYC, and it is still too close ;) I know all too well from experience in CNY that beer does not impact humans like it does dogs. I made it past 9 yo without so much as a touch of cirrhosis! Bowmania would be better off drinking vast quantities of Wisco beer like Old MillWater, than gulping those greasy fat-laden heart-clogging brats!!! And dogs can live on those fat and grease bombs with no probs whatsoever... :P

Feather Merchant, Might want to chat with your veterinarian about alcohol and pets.

I know it's cute and funny to some, but it can have deadly consequences for your pet. There are several risk factors, but ethanol toxicosis is the biggest. Dogs can get it from eating fermented bread dough, let alone lapping up an alcohol beverage.

Their digestive system is can be poisoned much easier than a humans.

If you really care for your animal, get informed and then stop the alcohol.

My Golden licked beer up also years ago. But since I don't stew anymore no beer around. I would never try on my Setter even if I did still drink a beer. She's got to much class to dabble in the taste. LOL

Think you and Barbie might go to AAA together? You know the 12 step deal.LOL

Didn't know it can harm animals its not like someone is getting them drunk either is it? Hope certainly not. I knew people at one time that got their dogs high also. Never find one of my hunting dogs being allowed to get waked. I did have my Golden get into a rum cake wife left on table. She did get drunk on that cake what a night mare that was for me. I got blamed eating cake when it was dog. Didn't know till we were out hunting and she was falling down and all side ways then stuck her back in cab and she threw up the cake all in cab. Terrible thing.

Meat N taters sorta Girl

along with anything else

My dog lives a kings life. He sets and awaits me to finish eating to put his share in his bowl. Every meal I eat at home, he eats, minus much pork. He loves it but, it really takes him a couple days to get over eating much of it. So, I limit that to him. All my neighbors feed him dog food as well. He's a big, fit dog but, a 15 pound bag lasts me several months. He carries in a chew toy one of them buys him weekly. He's got it made. 11 years old and runs around like a pup outside the staggering heat of summer. Bright eyed, alert, and health as a mule. I pray he stays that way for a long, long, long time. He's my bestest bud.

Heck WV mountaineer, mine eats off the same fork

Its one for me and one for you, and you better not take two (we are Equal and we share 50;50)

Darn think has no clue that she is not a people

No table food for my animal she is pure holistic don't want to see her suffer from cancer. Game meat or birds are her treats. Been feeding her rabbit lately she loves it and she's really healthy from it also.

I'd say my Setter is as human as one can be. All I usually have to do is look at dog and she knows and wonder if she's a mind reader. How do they know the things they do its amassing to me always.

Andy I love your dogs they are incredible. I wouldn't mind getting another Golden myself one day or even a Flat Coat. I love those dogs also.

FWIW Merchant, you definitely have some problems outside this. Talking to Lost Arrow and Frisky that way highlights them. I can't believe you are missing their genius.

You could always buy her the cheap stuff. Milwaukee's Best or Schaffers. Lol

Goldens are perty easy to get along with , and learn quickly, easy mannered

Wv Mountaineer, please take no offense to Feather Muncher 's comments. He is a writer, ( never heard of any of his books ) His only joy comes from a pencil. Let the writer guys write and the reader guys only read what they want to.

Both are on a level most can only dream of. They can predict the future. Science follows their opinion. Not the other way around. Both have skills so far advanced that physics hasn't caught up yet. I'm not saying that the human mind can't explain their abilities. I'm saying the science of physics hasn't developed enough to describe how they function. It takes a superior mind to see these things. Which explains why you and so many others have missed this. You are literally to simple minded to be able to comprehend it.

With the cats and Frisky, I am not sure. Why I myself do not care for cats, I see his genius and simply realize that my persona feelings are due to my own weaknesses and simple mindedness. Like I said earlier, These two are the greatest minds in the history of archery. I will never be on their level. But, I can try to be a pupil of their superior abilities. I'd advise you to do that too. You ain't the brightest bulb in the closest.

Hilarious Puppies! Amazing! I've heard it said that stroking a Dog's back and shoulders can reduce a human's blood pressure?? Help me out here?

I don't know but sure makes them feel good?

Yea kinda relaxing

Mine gets a full Dog massage

BATMAN, Dogs are the best therapy a human can obtain, physical and mental. I am 100% certain that when my BP skyrockets (often it seems, (I won't go there), I just go be with Trapper and it immediately begins to subside. He calms me, and its a mutual benefit. He likes the attention, makes him happy. Jake too, can't get petted enough.

See, I told you Merchant that you and most others were in a state of denial regarding those two. That you were incapable of embracing the superior thought processes both Frisky and Lost Arrow possess. Don't feel bad though, you are not alone. I expected your reply as such. As it is common for those that feel threatened to lash out in a vicious assault against their fears. Embracing it and learning from them is more productive though. So, there is hope for you yet my friend.

I know Frisky and Lost Arrow haven't given up on you yet. Therefore, I shall remain steadfast in the hope that you awaken to the reality of their superior presence.

It's well documented that petting a cat lowers blood pressure by 10 points. However, I suggest you only pet declawed cats, as armed cats tend to put their claws into you as you pet them, raising blood pressure 30 points.

Joe

That sounds like a sale at Gander Mountain, raise the price 30%, sale price it 10%.

I have no worries over that traitor. His grudge against me stems from the fact I made mention of his falling asleep on stand. It doesn't matter how good your bows are if you can't stay awake to take a shot.

Joe

As for beer being harmful for dogs.. American beer maybe,..Canadian beer is Ok. :-) Sandy

Yes, well documented in medical literature that petting/playing with dogs and cats will lower BP and positively affect our mood. I experience it on a daily basis, backed up by my self-BP readings and just the way I feel. No doubt in my mind. Calmest I ever am is when I have an old familiar cat in my lap.

Beer lowers my blood pressure and improves my mood. Eapecially when I'm petting Happy-go-Lucky dog.

BP goes up when he's doing this!

If anticipating a wild rooster flush doesn't cause your blood pressure to spike, you might as well quit hunting. Feathers wouldn't know because he's never seen one!

Got one rooster with my quick little Redwing Hunter last fall--happened so fast I didn't have time to aim, gap, estimate distance, or nothing. Just draw, swing and shoot at a crossing bird. Fluflu arrow, hammerhead blunt hit and snapped its outstretched neck. Lucky the dog, lucky shot... unlucky bird.

Mrs Daisey wants anything human food or drink and watches the outdoor channel but no beer is around drank my share back in youthful rodeo daze LoL

Peemoe only water dogfood and raw meat (luvs deer hearts) 13 yrs old still acts like a PuP and trys too keep everyone away from his findings lol

and ole Peemoe like outdoor T V Too

12 years old and because of no table food and fake news this dog is healthy thank God. This dog is a classic gun dog. Period! I can't keep myself healthy but I can keep her healthy so far. This is the first dog I have had of many over the years that didn't get sick from feeding table food and that's because she don't get any garbage.

This dog in her carrier now has seen over 2,000 birds in her 12 years both wild and penned and found a few deer as well for me. She is tired like her owner and burned out but has desire like no other dog I've had and I had a Golden that was a machine years ago.

Jessie the Golden would eat everything also and eat the garden if I let her in the yard and drink beer and eat chocolate all things that are supposed to kill dogs. And roll in everything also and would not stay out of water always jumping in. Swimming pools, lakes, creeks, bays no matter where water was if not on a leash she be in water on me.

I believe a dog can get as touch as their owners and handle a great amount of things.

I seen my dogs do things that I never thought could be possible yet they knew to do it and did it and it wasn't taught to them.

Another key to a good dog is they are your buddy they are with you most of the time. Mine are anyways and if its more than 1 week they get separation disorder.

My dogs use to sleep in bed with me as well until they couldn't jump up anymore and they wanted to sleep alone. Just as well sometimes was a real pain waking you up when they readjust.LOL

Feather, Our dog Red looks just like yours. He guards the pond and protects the ducks. He has no fear and can almost talk. Our 3 female labs love him. Is this a black mouth kerr?
