Love the photos, very funny! Bear has a smaller version (water goes half way up his waist), but he would absolutely love that trough
We occasionally go on a off lead walk were there are livestock watering troughs along the way. Homer thinks these are specially placed there for him to jump into. He's even jumped into a water fountain in a French village. Hubby thinks this is funny while I disown them both.
We have them all round our village. W&S didn't pay them any heed until one day when we took a friend's GR out with us. On the way home, Judy jumped into the font and, since then, Willow has been obsessed with going in it. She was very upset last winter when it froze over! She was so excited by it, I had to proof her lead walking against it
