To all drunkards who want a puppy: Too Fucking Bad

Because of a few sloshed assholes, New York City pet stores are cracking down on drunken puppy purchases! Christopher Street's Le Petit Puppy won’t even let you PLAY with pups if you’re hammered— what will I do with my Saturday nights?! — and if Chelsea's Citipups even smells booze on your breath you sure as hell won’t be walking out of there with a new furry friend.

The incredibly tragic thing is that Citipups actually had some jackass buy a Chihuahua and return it the next day with a stomach full of pills on the verge of death! Can you believe that? What kind of sick bastard returns a puppy in the first place, let alone hanging on to life by a thread?! Sickos.

We FIPS peeps wondered if Brooklyn pet shops had a similar take on plastered puppy purchasing, so I called a few to see what the deal was. Of all the local spots I contacted, Pup Slope seemed to be the only one that actually sold puppies. When asked if they had any rules about selling puppies to drunkards, the gentleman who wished to remain anonymous simply giggled and said, “Depends on how drunk they are.”

Sweet. Let us all sleep well knowing that we won’t be denied a puppy when we are three sheets to the wind and in need of a fuzzy cuddle.
