odd....Digging in water bowl?

• odd....Digging in water bowl? erin thom Posted : 9/25/2006 12:52:31 PM Bella has decided to "dig" in her water bowl the past few days while its full of water. Is that normal? Is it possible that she has discovered a passion for playing in the water or is she doing this to "misbehave"?   She gets her little paws all wet and splashes it everywhere!

• spiritdogs Posted : 9/25/2006 4:25:09 PM She looks like a terrier, and guess what terriers do for a living LOL?  They dig. I think she finds it fun.  Dogs really don't stay up late at night figuring out how to "misbehave".  They simply act like dogs.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• erin thom Posted : 9/26/2006 11:45:50 AM I know she likes to dig as when we are at our cabin she goes nuts in the yard digging to China...but this splashing the water and "digging" in it is a new thing. Crazy girl! Love her dearly...actually thought it was funny...just a bit odd to "DIG" the water! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• espencer Posted : 9/28/2006 8:04:35 PM I used to have a dog that used to do the same, now that i think about it he was doing it during summer and not at winter, maybe he is hot and wants to refresh himself, of course he cant just pick up the bowl and take a shower himself so he diggs to splash the water, i dont know, i could be wrong 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Mark Posted : 10/1/2006 8:29:06 AM This was one of my first questions when i joined the forum..lol My Husky loves to dig in the water,but moreso in the summer...it seems that with her,she uses it to cool off her underside.I also believe she has fun with it.   As suggested here,iI bought our pups a kiddie pool to play in,and they love it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Lisa Posted : 10/1/2006 10:11:43 PM We have a beagle/foxhound mix at the office/kennel now who has this habit.She goes to the water dishes and starts digging,making a huge mess.Once all the water is out of the bowl,she picks it up and runs off with it to a corner to chew on it...[&:]   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sl2crmeg Posted : 10/20/2006 6:53:50 PM I work at a dog day care, and when we have someone who is a water bowl digger, we turn a smaller bowl upside down in the bigger bowl. For some reason this seems to stop them. [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• erin thom Posted : 10/28/2006 1:14:17 PM Thanks Megan! Funny how Megan's that work at doggy daycares are always so helpful! The doggie daycare that Bella and Charlie used to go to had the nicest girl Megan working there and she always had good advice too!
