We have one of those gravity water dispensers for the dog, like this:
I'm not sure how long it is supposed to last for a near 100 pound dog, but I'm SURE it doesn't last as long as it could. Why? Well, most of it ends up all over the floor for several reasons. One is that Shiloh does not believe in swallowing the last drink of water she puts in her mouth. She is SO in love with water that she wants to spread the joy. She gulp gulp gulps and saves that last gulp to let it run out in random patterns on the floor and she also enjoys giving nice juicy kisses to any passersby. Why shouldn't others enjoy the clear fresh water that is in abundance? She's not a selfish dog.
This kind act is very inspiring for my 2.5 year old. She sees the joy created and attempts to empty the water dish onto the floor as well. This, of course, being an impossible task as long as there is water in the 3 gallon jug part of the automatic water dispenser, making the toddler even more determined.
This then creates and endless circle of activity as others step in the puddles, making soggy socks, laundry and general cries of UGH!
I really do love my kids and my dog and my gravity water dispenser, actually :-) Thanks for listening. LOL
