Water. Essential for life.


Water. Essential for life. I crave fresh water. But my caretakers deprive me.

In the eating area I am presented with small bowls of water. Although they are refreshed regularly they quickly become warm, flat and stale. I push and move the bowls to make the water flow, but this is not enough. I need more.

My klutzy sister has trained our caretakers to fill the sink with fresh water. This is the only good thing my klutzy sister has ever done. My caretakers complain that it is not environmentally friendly, but I do not know what that means. I have to fight with my klutzy sister to have preferred access to this fresh water. I am frequently required to whack her.

But what I really want is fresh, cold, sparkling imported water. I have told my caretakers this, but they do not listen. No one ever listens.

I feel for you. My caregivers provide only stale water with my food. I refuse to drink it. Like you, I must stalk the silver spout for taste of fresh water. Also, after my caregivers visit the rain box I can sometimes find fresh water after they leave, but recently they have been closing the door to thwart my efforts. Just as well though, this box is frightening.

Also, there is fresh water in the swirling bowl. I love to drop my toys in the bowl to see if they will swirl too. But now I find that the lid is almost always closed, so this bit of fun has been taken away from me.

With the cold weather I find drops of fresh water at the bottoms of the view ports. Maybe you could try this. It is my favourite source of water.
