Thread: 'Swimming' in her water dish

So she's not technically swimming but she'll stare at her water dish and then put her foot in it and pull, like she's 'digging' the water. It's so funny to watch !

Yes, Gryfn does that too.... or he will dig at the towel under the water dish while he's actually drinking...

Louie used to sit in the dogs water bowl when he 1st arrived, he dosent fit now thank god

Sarah splashes with one paw and then changes to the other paw until there is sufficient water on the floor - I have a big bowl in the bathroom so only the tiles get wet.

I noticed Zack is already doing the same thing!!!!!

Sarah also goes in the shower when I get out and rolls around in the water.

Very strange behaviour!, I'd like to know exactly what they think they are doing, I was wondering if its something to do with bowl size/height, perhaps they think they can bring the water closer to them to make drinking easier.

Hank does it really often now and i feel sorry for him sometimes as we'll fill up his bowl, and see him wanting a drink but then he'll pull 90% of it out into the kitchen floor, then have a couple of sips and the bowls empty again.. I don't think he's keen on licking up the puddle he's since created tho so we'll have to clean it up and refill his bowl hoping he'll get more next time! :-)

Heather2mc Darcy plays in my water puddles from the shower too! She likes to Perch inthe bathtub and under the toilet also

dave Darcy so far has only done it when she's got an entire bowl full of water. I wonder if it has something to do with her reflection maybe?
