Canine Cocktail Hour

Bark bar:

If dog-loving lawmakers prevail, Fido could soon be sidling up to bar stools around Washington state under a measure that would allow well-behaved, leashed canines to join their human companions as they down their favorite microbrews.

The bill would allow bars and restaurants with liquor licenses to welcome dogs, as long as they accompany their owners and remain leashed. Establishments wouldn't be required to allow dogs, except for service animals.

They'll probably make better patrons than many of the homo sapiens allowed into bars. We could make room for them by putting those stupid video golf games--and the annoying testosterone pustules playing them--into the garbage bin.
