I tried the water-bowl idea, but with the two dogs, it's a toughie.

The long one is too short to drink from a bowl large enough to satiate the tall one. Actually, he climbs up onto the bath ledge to drink out of the toilet with the tall one.

Plus, and for some unknown reason, this is how both of the doggie brains seem to work....

"Hmmm. Lookie Hercules drinking there outta that tiny bowl. The water in Hercules' bowl is evidently much better than mine. Gotta have that water. Lemme just shimmy him outta the way"

Big doggie scuffle, water everywhere.

And you know Hercules is looking sideways at the big old bowl Chico's lapping out of and thinking that that there water has got to be better than his.

I love my puppies.
