Buster Butt likes to play in water. A lot.
Before it got colder than hell, he’d splash around in mud puddles outside.
He’d tap his paw in the water dishes – all of three of them.
He’d drag them, full of water, around the house.
We kept having to pick the water bowls up and leave them on counters, which meant that none of the dogs ever had water when they wanted water.
We’d remember late in the day that nobody had water and we’d fill up a bowl and put it on the floor. Lola and Skeeter would drink. Buster would drink and drink and drink and then decide to play in the bowl. So, the water would get taken away again.
TW researched unspillable water bowls and decided we needed to order Buddy Bowls. I was skeptical but ordered two.
Once they arrived, I was still skeptical but they did seem significantly less spilly than regular bowls.
But, Buster Butt drags them all over the house and chews on them and I can assure you that they are not spill-proof. I wipe up water ALL DAY LONG because he has dragged one around the house and spilled it all over the place.
And once again, the bowls live on the counter and we have to remember to put some water in them and let the dogs have them for awhile — at least until Buster Butt annoys us by dragging them around and spilling water all over the place again.
I think he needs a water table, like the one JMP got for Christmas.
Even with a designated water table I bet Buster would still play in the water bowl! In the summer y’all should be a baby wading pool for his playing pleasure.
