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?
Rita Jean, Thanks you so much for all your help with the pictures and with resting my thoughts on were Otis came from. I thought from the beginning that Mark had his head on straight, but you never know, hearing you describe their environment make me feel as if I had the right thougt. I will try to get the picture thing worked out so you can see our beautiful Otis.
