qwestion. Yes, Sister Gracie drinks like dis, our vetman sez she drinks
like a HORSE duz. Sticks da snooter inta da water allaways up ta her
eyeballs, den gulps and licks and snorts suffin fierce until her runs outa air,
den liffs da huge beeg head outa da water wif da mouf hangin open and NIAGARA
FALLS comes rollin outa da mouf. Her snorts da water outa da snooter, den
starts all ober agin. Affer all dis, her SHAKES DA HEAD ta git da water
offf. Is truly amazin mess, me an Sister Anna allus leaves da room soze
not ta get a shower. Mama sez ta tell yur Mama ta get used ta it, ain't gunna
stop. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:navy'>Mama taking over here, Holly is right, we have tried just
about everything to get Gracie not to drink like a horse and nothing has ever
worked. Someone suggested only putting small amounts of water out at a
time, but we have 3 dogs and 4 cats here and I have better things to do all day
than continuously put small amounts of water in small bowls. Does Snoopy
love-love-love to drink out of puddles? Gracie feels it is her mission in
life to drink all puddles dry.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:navy'>Petsmart carries special placemats for pets that we use
under all water bowls in the house and we highly recommend them. The
placemat is plastic and has a large hump all the way around the outer edge that
acts like a moat. Gracie still gets water all over but the moat-mat
catches most of it. Get a LARGE one, they really help. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
