I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house? Looks lovely.” Which was a blatant lie, because the fixer-upper was barely livable, much less acceptable to a neat-freak like his aunt.

A problem Snickers has during the summer is that she gets really hot.
The problem for me is that she drinks lots of water. And most of it does not get inside her.
Yes, you’re seeing that right. She has water on her nose, which splashed up because she was slurping her water so violently.
After she drinks, there are rivers running down from her mouth onto the floor. Rivers, I tell you!
It’s both good and bad that her water bowl is in the kitchen. Good because it’s easy to mop up the water from the linoleum. Bad because the water makes the linoleum slippery, and it’s hard to see the water ponds on the floor.
Does anyone else have a dog who doesn’t know how to drink properly???

That was one thing i found interesting in Canada and Hawaii.
The toilets have so much water in them!
the problem we had with horse is if she decided to catch a bird or mouse she liked to take them into the toilet to play. it use to be a race to see who would get to the back door to shut it first (the toilet is of the laundry which is off the back porch.
Anyway, I love Snickers the Wonder Dog. Maybe keep him a towel by his water bowl. Towel off, Dude!

Waterboy that he is that means dunking to get the ice cube. Then he carries left over water in his cheeks and carries it around the house. Much messier than your little guy:) sueb
