<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>Hi Everyone!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>I loved all the thoughts on drinking water,
and wanted to share what we did this spring.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>Inside we have one large heavy flat ceramic
dish for drinking water, which we clean and fill often. It sits beside our
fridge, and they like the purified water from the door, of
course.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>Outside, we tore out 3 bushes, where I
finally talked my husband into putting in a little decorative pond in that area.
He did a lot of research, and it is slightly deeper than most shallow
ponds, and covers the width of the area we had available, and is between the end
of our turn-around-drive and a privacy fence, and adjacent to our
garage. He has running re-cycled water coming from a strawberry
pot located in the flower bed which is behind the pond. We have the
appropriate water plants, not a lot, to help clean the water along with the
sunlight, but we went a step farther and put in an ionizer to purify the water,
after one of our babies decided to drink out of it. We top off the pond
everyday with fresh water from where it has evaporated and been
slurped down by the dogs. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>We have had bowls outside, and
the type of water dish with the hose that constantly feeds the bowl
from a faucet, but birds get in them, insects get in them, and if
there is food dropped into them, ants come over the side. Alas, we needed
something, but didn't quite know what, until Misty began going to the pond and
drinking from it. We didn't think they would drink from it because of the
flowing water, but we were very happy they did, so therefore we added the
ionizer to purify the water for our babies. No insects are in it, and apparently
with the recycling, it stays cool enough.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>When we go for our evening walks, they come
home and go straight to the pond.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>In the morning after they do their
business, they go to the pond, but then we really don't want to let them back in
right away, because they have emptied and refilled on
water...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>Just a thought for anyone out there who
wants to keep fresh ionized water for their babies that is free of
insects, ( we don't see any drool in it either). This is so awesome, and we
are glad that we happened onto it. It was a lot of planning and work, and to
think it acts as a watering place for our babies, well that is a big
plus.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>Happy Drools, to
you....</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
