Combine our love of the sauce with our insistence that animals are making slow but steady progress in taking over the world. Plus, it’s Friday. Perfect:
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 measure was introduced by Sen. Ken Jacobsen, a Seattle Democrat who got the idea at the Fish Tale Brewpub, formerly known as the Fish Bowl, in downtown Olympia… “There’s all sorts of places you can bring animals now. You can take dogs into hotels. My God, some people are carrying dogs in their purses. Why can’t we have them in the bars?”
A fair point. For what it’s worth, you can already do this in some Los Angeles hiptard dive bars. Seriously. We were at downtown’s Bar 107 last week (our review of the place for Gridskipper here) and some guy just brings in this giant black Labrador. Magic with the women-folk.
Next up: Blue State bars with dog potty grass, for those days when every hour is happy hour. What? They have to go somewhere.
