Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction.

Subject: water dish splashing Thu Jul 18, 2013 10:54 am
Does any one else get to enjoy the dog digging to china in their water dish? Rikku's kennel looks like a mini pool...lol... and god forbid if she'll take a bath or go in the tub for this fun:facepalm:
my house has become a water park for her...lol, when her dish is out of water she'll find the other dogs water and do it to theirs lol... she cant get enough of it... the gf hates it but i find it amusing
Shaqua LOVES to "dig" in her water bowl. Has since she was a pup. She doesn't do it to the small water dishes that I use inside, but the big buckets are free game (and yes, including those at the dog park). I think it has to be a husky trait. I've heard this is common from many husky owners.
Another thing I've noticed about water- When she drinks out of the small water bowls (the ones she will not swim in) she drinks the water against the edge of the bowl, making it look like she is licking the side of the bowl while she drinks.
Does anyone else have a siberian that drinks water against the side of the bowl???

Nanook does that if the bowl is on the ground. We found that out when we had some friends over with their boxer and had the water down on the floor (he'd walk over tip it over and walk away). We have his actual water dish attached to the side of his crate and I haven't seen him dig at it while it's here. He will "dig" with his nose and try to splash water on his liver when I don't sear it for him (he's been in a picky mood lately about how he gets his liver). Putting the water bowl off the ground might help discourage the digging if it bothers you.
haha its far to cute. and i couldnt tell ya if she drinks out of the side, because she the second her water dish is down, the water will come flying out haha
This is Ajax's favorite thing to do at the dog park... "Hey, another dog is trying to drink water. I'll just go over there and splash all of the water out of the bowl for them."
The vast majority of Huskys at the dog park do this. Weird
Yeah, the other day someone brought their husky pup with them to the bar. (Ha ha, it was on the patio, but hey!) and they put a bowl down for water. The pup had it empty within minutes everytime they refilled it by playing in it. It was their first husky and I told them it seems to be a breed trait.
It was so funny because I was sitting there and when they walked in I immediately held out my arms and said "Oh my I HAVE to hold your puppy!!!". I don't even know the guy but he just plopped his puppy in my lap and I played with her. Oh puppy fever soooo bad...
come to michigan, my puppy will get rid of your puppy fever lol...cute for ten minutes then the house goes silent and you know something is not right.... demonic baby lol...
Kobe does the same thing! i had to buy him a different bowl, and now i only put enough water as he needs if he sticks his paws in there i take it away. He also loves to go inside the tube and play with the water from the faucet.
