“The advantages of whiskey over dogs are legion.

Whiskey does not need to be periodically wormed,

it does not need to be fed, it never requires a special kennel,

it has no toenails to be clipped or coat to be stripped.

Whiskey sits quietly in its special nook until you want it.

True, whiskey has a nasty habit of running out, but then so does a dog.”
~W. C. Fields~
