No not at all, we were interested to see how dogs acted with a "wee dram" as one of my fiends put it, so we assembled various drinks, topped up the dogs bowl, when the dog was ready for the toilet, we let him out the front door, he went straight up to the tree in the front garden, ****ed his leg and keeled over, poor bastard was sparked for ages.
