Ok I'm hairy, but that is another whole story/post. Well, because I'm hairy, I have to drink water in a special way. Usually when my moustache and beard get wet, they don't smell good after a while(that's what Mama says)so, I always drink water from the bottle, yes, the bottle! Dad is totally fine with me drinking from the bowl but Mama convinced him that my water would stay fresh in the bottle and that would minimize the wetting and...stinking of my facial hair:(
I much prefer drinking from the bowl because I can get more water faster than drinking from the bottle, drop by drop and lying on my belly, but...I got used to it. It is quite a treat when I go to my Grandma J's and get to drink from Sammie's bowl. Mama says it's OK once in a while, yeeeeaaah!
When I was little, the bottle was attached to my crate but as I grew older and got potty-trained, I didn't need it anymore and it was taking too much room in the hallway area so, my "Mr.Do-it-All" Daddy invented a great wooden "thing" which had a metal grid to hold my bottle and that took much less room than the crate. Only its door was being used as a support for the bottle so we decided to put it away in the basement. My Dad's invention was a pine wood circle base with 2 wooden pillars securily fixed to it vertically and paralell to each other, far out from from the center of the circle. Those pillars held the metal grid to which the bottle was attached on one side. The rest of the circle, behind the other side of the grid, was used to store my huge food container. It is a pity I don't have a single picture of this anywhere in my files, and won't be able to take any since my Dad donated it to the Salvation Army last year. We've found something even smaller made out of PVC tubes, which is also great. No need to lie down, now I can drink while I stand!
Look how thirsty I was after that riot in the backyard. In this video, I am drinking from my Dad's invention(you can see part of it...), the "Sushi Fountain".
