A few weeks ago blind Madison developed a new and rather odd habit of sticking her head through the fence to drink from the water bucket in the adjoining dog yard. Now, when she comes out of Widget's House in the morning for the first time, she always goes straight to the water bucket on the front porch and drinks there. But then she'll wander around the front yard for a bit, do her potty business, and eventually make her way over to the fence to look for that bucket on the other side. She figures out where it is, sticks her head through the nearest square in the fence, and then lowers her face into the bucket to start lapping it up.
Blind Samantha — she of the feet-in-the-bucket drinking style and the straight-from-the-tap method — may not be able to see Madison but she knows what she's doing. Samantha says, "You people think my drinking habits are strange?"
