on tanking up on water, I am so glad to know I am not alone--our Columbo is
another power slurper. There are times when he drinks for so long, I feel
compelled to stop him! Why he doesn't explode after drinking so much water
is a mystery to me. And he always greets us when we come home by running
to the bowl and drinking as if to say "look what a good boy I am!" (maybe
because it's one of those Bistro's that "blurk" and used to scare the you know
what out of him when it did!?) Bob simply won't drink out of the bowl if
the toilet is available, and Andi is a very delicate drinker. And to
Synthia, yes we too have always been able to tell who's at the bowl by the sound
of the slurps!! Is this like Moms who recognize their babies cries?
LOL</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

thank you to everyone who voted for Chili---she was, alas, only 35 votes shy of
winning (her total was 457 votes!) but though she may not have won the top dog
title, she'll always be a top dog to her Mom and I, the proud ex foster
mom! Ahhh, the power of Droolers--we are indeed
grateful.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
