Where'd my coffee go?!

Otis loved stealing coffee too..he would get up on the table if you happened to walk away for a split second.

Love the picture. Wouldn't it be awful if he took a drink but you didn't see him :D
This happened to my family years ago. My parents had crisps,nuts etc out in little dishes for christmas visitors and unbeknown to any of us, our Pappilon, Bambi had been helping herself. :O

I would have never thought a Basenji would love Coffee. I'm usually guarding a glass of Scotch or Wine when it comes to my B. They are curious little devils sometimes.

Both my dogs love the smell of my rancid coffee breath in the morning (it's touching, in a way – they'll put up with me in my stinkiest state!). We're quite paranoid about keeping the real stuff away from them though. Bowdu had an incident as a 9-month-old pup where he took about two bites worth of fresh coffee grounds and ended up at the emergency vet for two nights. NEVER AGAIN. It's potent and potentially lethal stuff for dogs...

A lovely picture!

Mine regularly sample any drinks left within their reach!

LOL on the treats and dogs. Reminds me of a rather long story but here goes.

My friend Janice was visiting friends in Tx. Now at that time in her life, Janice was NOT an animal person in any form. (she now is a certified nut job living with 4 horses, 2 dogs and 4 cats) However, she got up for breakfast and here was the cat standing on the counter licking the butter. Janice said her friend must have seen her horrified expression and she said: Janice, does that bother you?

Janice said of course it did. (Meaning unsanitary!)

Her friend said: Me too. She doesn't need to be eating all that fat.

So anyway, years later Janice said it was finally really funny to her but at the time she wouldn't eat anything the people prepared.

I would draw the line at sharing butter, but I don't think I'd throw out the nuts.

:D:D:D That is hilarious. I think true animal people are quite tolerant of such things. I'd keep the butter and fight you for the nuts. :)

My fella has never cared one 'lick' for any drinks on the coffee table, from water to coffee to pop to adult beverages. What he likes to do is lick the condensation off of the sides of cold drink glasses/cups. Maybe he likes the cold on his tongue?
