dipping paws in water bowls - Page 4

Lulu does this too. She also likes to drop her toys in and then carry them around dripping water. I never thought about picking up the bowl, I guess because she is ALWAYS drinking water. I will try that and see if it helps keep the drool trails to a minimum!

Of course a full bowl of water is very useful in blowing bubbles and filling up his nasal cavity just to watch it drain out on the floor. Extra towels are kept in strategic locations to mop up the spilled water.

These behaviors are already tapering off and I can tell that he is just discovering the world and how it works.

I noticed this the other day from my 8 week old puppy Bella.

She started dipping her paws in the water bowl and watched the water drip from them.

She then decided to pull the bowl towards her and thought it was good fun seeing the water splash out from the sides onto the kitchen floor.

She did this about 8 times until the floor had a nice big puddle of water, thankfully we have stone tiles so it was easy to mop up.

When the wife came home from work I told her of Bella's new trick but she wasn't as amused as me and decided to fill her bowl with only small amounts of water!

Our 10 week old puppy decided to knock over the gallon jug on the top of his water bowl and proceeded to running around and sliding in it. He has now figured out a way to keep himself entertained and Me and my wife appalled at the same time. Cute but annoying.

I think of it as a puppy thing, just testing the 'environment'.
However
Dogs sweat through their paws and it probably feels good to get their feet wet.
