Wagimoko got Nezumi-chan a new water dish this week: a big, heavy, stainless-steel bowl with a rubber gasket on the bottom. After she came indoors, we got her an off-white plastic dish. This got skidded all over the floor and pushed under the bathroom rugs, spilling its contents in the process. Wagimoko put the dish in a glass pie plate, but not only did Nezumi-chan use it as an exercise machine ("pumping Pyrex"), quickly building up her muscles until she could push it around, but learned to flip her water dish upside-down. So, this past week, wagimoko went out to the local animal supply and feed store, and got a new water dish. I imagine that the conversation between her and the clerk must have gone something like this:
"I'd like a big, heavy, stainless-steel water dish. Something suitable for a Rottweiler to drink from without knocking it all over the place." So far, the contents have stayed in the bowl (aided by the fact that this one is about three times the height of the old one). If the floor gets wet again, wagimoko says that she's going to put cement in the underside of the dish. John "Akatsukami" Braue Sunday, April 07, 2002 |
