Paw activated drinking fountain

We’ve had a touch of spring weather this week (which is about to change – and fast – back to winter) and because of the hint of warmth in the air, I’m thinking of what I will plant in the garden this year – and looking at Izzy’s little paddling pool which will need a good scrubbing out before it can be used.

And then I found this video – a paw-activated drinking fountain.  I have been meaning to video Izzy drinking from the fountain at the dog park because it is cute to watch her aim for the flow of water.  I think she would like something like this and it would act as another activity for mental stimulation.

Maybe we can add it to her wish list for Santa?

My idea for the Christchurch rebuild

If you live in my local area of Christchurch (New Zealand), you are probably as worn out as I am about hearing about “The Rebuild” and “The New Central City.”  It’s been especially frustrating for those of us who want to see a dog-friendly city because our needs are not being met.

So here’s one idea for the rebuilt Cathedral Square in central Christchurch.

A fountain for all to enjoy (but especially dogs!)
