I trained one of my dogs to do that. Worked great until we got the fridge with the freezer on the bottom. Now I get frozen orange juice.

I remember giving my Dad a Father's day card that read:

I did not want you to lift a finger on Father's day so I opened all the beer in the fridge"

Dad said, " Tell me you did not do that." :lol: :wink:
