Whatever happened to Spuds MacKenzie?

Spuds was Budweiser's mascot in the late '80s. Known as the "original party dog," Spuds liked two things -- beautiful women and the King of Beers. Alas, given Spuds was popular 20 years ago, it shouldn't come as a shock that the pooch is no longer hosting keggers.

Actually, the original drinking/partying dog was Alex from Stroh's before Spuds McKenzie.

"Alex, you better be drinking your water", I still get a kick out of that commercial.

Am I showing my age?

Fox news update 1/5/09 - "Superstar dog 'Spuds Mckenzie' anhaeuser buschs budweiser mascot leaves rehab. His glory days as a star was much like the lives of child stars during the 80s. His wealth led to drug and alcohol and sex excesses. His arrests for smoking crack with rick james and lewd behavior for licking himself in public are well documented. His reclamation came when he was court ordered to a stint in the betty ford canine rehab center. His rehabilitation went well and he barked at many rehab support groups. He passed away quietly in his sleep at the grand age of 21 on october 17, 2004. Which would be 145 in human years". -Marvin Grombascher, Fox news.

According to several sources, Spuds passed away in 1993 of kidney failure. But don't feel too bad -- despite a short 10 years on earth, Spuds led quite a life. The bull terrier appeared in commercials, modeled for posters, and advanced the popularity of his breed immeasurably. All this despite being forced to live a lie that shocked the world when exposed.

You see, Spuds was actually a female. Gasp! Once word broke, it caused a bit of a scandal, but did little to stop Spuds' popularity. Eventually, Spuds (real name: "Honey Tree Evil Eye") retired from pitching alcohol. She lived her final years in Illinois with her owners. R.I.P., Spuds. You taught us how to party.
