Madison drinking through fence

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?"

    The water that you have to get the right angle to the dangle always tastes better! Sort of like the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence….love the antics! Sending big hugs to all,

    Madison you SILLY girl!
    As long as we don’t ever catch you drinking from the toilet bowl.
    We caught this in action the other day I had sadly had to swear off puppy kisses (just for awhile) after learning the new definition of “potty mouth”!
