A Husky Tipped the Water Bowl and Turned the Floor Into a Pond

AI imagesiberian huskywater bowlkitchen

The red and white Husky sits on a wet tile floor with his ears pulled back and his pale blue eyes turned slightly to the side. A steel water bowl lies tipped over beside him, and a glossy sheet of water has spread across the floor in shiny patches. The pale light from the window catches the drops on his fur, and the whole room has the quiet look of a small flood.

Huskies are strong, playful dogs with a lot of energy, and they often turn the water bowl into a toy, tipping it or splashing in it. A heavy ceramic bowl or a no-spill design can help, and so can an extra bowl in a different spot. Dogs need fresh water throughout the day, especially after exercise, so check the bowl often. If your dog suddenly drinks a lot more than usual, mention it to your vet. A towel by the bowl makes cleanup quick.

He does not seem to want to talk about it, and he is waiting for the mop to arrive. His paws are damp, and his fur has a few drops on it, but his expression is all innocence. A sunny afternoon and a dry towel will fix things soon enough. In the meantime, he has the cool, confident look of a dog who knows the floor will dry.
