just a question. my mom's chihuahua does this same thing if you don't watch him, so i'm not sure if it's a chi thing or if a lot of dogs do it, as none of out big paws do. whenever me and hubby get drinks out (i drink strawberry daiquiris (sp?) or whatever mixed drinks i want at that time and hubby drinks beer) peanut is OBSESSED with the drinks! we don't drink often, typically maybe once a month (if that often, we just had one drink each the past two nights after 11 months of none at all) we will have a drink or two. if i use a paper towel he will run off with it and hide under a chair licking it until i can manage to get it away from him, assuming he doesn't run under a different chair when he sees me coming. he chases our glasses, even if we switch them from hand to hand, and he gets SO irritated at you for not letting him have it. if you manage to keep it away from him in your hands, he then goes to trying to lick your face, or anything that remotely smells like your drink. he's never had any of our drink, and we don't intend on letting him either, so i don't know if maybe it just smells sweet or what. he doesn't do this with coke, or anything else, ONLY alcohol. anyone else have this experience with their dog(s)?
