One of these days, I'm going to have a house with several wall fountains that are strategically located throughout the house and directly connected to a water line, the way my ice maker is in the kitchen. That way, I don't have to spend half of my day refilling water bowls for my dogs.I have never in my life seen a dog that drinks as much water as Bella. I swear she could out drink a St. Bernard or a Great Dane. Instead of drinking little sips throughout the day, she'll wait until she is parched (at least, I assume that's what she's doing) and then drink nearly the whole bowl. Usually, she times her "dying dog in the desert finally finds water" moments to coincide with bathroom breaks so Bailey and I have to wait on her. If we go to the door without her, she'll forget where we are and start howling the minute she swallows her last drop. It kind of makes me miss the old days, back before I bought my first doggy water fountain, when Bella would rather drink out of the toilet than the bowl. All I had to do to refill it back then was flush the toilet. Now it's pick up the bowl. Clean the bowl. Refill the bowl. Check the other bowl. Repeat process.
Forget the wall fountain. Maybe I should just keep a chair in front of the freezer and train the dogs to take their bowls to the chair, jump up, push them against the water dispenser, and refill them themselves. That might even get us an appearance on Pet Star.
