Yeah but for does not translate into por in this context. The only word that works here is pero. There is no literal word for for (as in but) in Spanish and the closest approximation is pero. Source: I am Spanish

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind when I make that joke again (and I'm sure I will).

You can translate "for" in that sentence to "pues"

Also remove the "un" because else you're saying "an another milk" or if you want to leave it for extra funny points make it "una" because "leche" is femenine

Careful with that r button though, as perro would be a downright silly word to use in this context.

In the English quote, doesn't "for" really mean "because", not "but"?
