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?
Both my pups have their "place" in the bed. Bandit on the left, head down, and Hunter waaayyyy down on the right.
Even on hot Summer nights it's the same position!
