So, this morning, I decided to put some ice cubes in the water bowl for the dogs. It’s been pretty hot and they had been running around outside for a while. Well, while they were eating, I fixed my own breakfast and sat down to watch the news . As I did so, I kept hearing this kind of dunking sound. I couldn’t quite figure out what it was until I noticed Rosie standing over the water bowl. As I watched in fascinated amazement, Rosie looked at the bowl, spotted an ice cube, and then proceeded to dunk her head into the bowl and grab the ice cube. Then she would happily munch the ice and go after another piece. She was almost done when her luck ran out. As she dunked her face into the bowl, I guess she chose that exact moment to take a breath because she came up snorting and sneezing water everywhere. Then she turned to look at me with water running off her face, and formed a puddle on the kitchen floor. Of course I was laughing hysterically. I’m surprised I didn’t wake Jon up. She just stood their, dripping, and looking at me like “Mama, why are you laughing at me…and why did I get water up my nose?” Needless to say, it was very entertaining. And poor Dante didn’t get any ice. His piggy sister ended up eating it all.
I have never before seen a dog bobbing for ice cubes…but upon telling Jon this story, he hopes to reproduce these events tonight for our evening entertainment. Who knew dogs could be this much fun

Molly totally dunks for ice cubes in the water bowl. Have yet to see her inhale water though.
dunk, bob, whatever.
It’s really all the same…basically they get sopping wet and then decided to run all over the house and then come and drip on your bare feet
If you ever catch her inhaling water, it will be very funny (as long as she’s okay and all)
When you tire of torturing the dogs, there’s always a freezeable water dish.
