I've posted before about how our big dogs like to lie in the smallest possible dog beds and vice versa. Here's a new twist on that theme. In the front yard we have a large group of dogs that are out during the day together, ranging in size from Labs to Dachshunds. So, of course we set out a large water bucket for the bigger dogs and a small water bowl for the little ones.
Naturally, they prefer to drink from the other water source. At the top is Belvie, straining to reach the water in the bucket while ignoring the easily accessible bowl at his feet. Meanwhile, the large dogs are naturally drawn to drink from the small bowl:
That's blind Cedar slurping up all the water, while blind Madison waits her turn (there won't be any left). What this means is that their servants are always running out to fill up the small bowl throughout the day — by dipping it into the under-utilized bucket, of course.

Blog Break
I'm going to take a blog break for next week. Yes, everything's fine, just taking a few days off from blogging to help get caught up on other things. I'll resume posting for the week of September 12th.
