    Edsel has suddenly developed a fondness for picking up his water dish, whether full or empty, and carrying it into the family room. This leads to a small river and potential death trap on my slick kitchen floor and soggy carpet. Any ideas, other than buying a heavy dish, for ways to solve this.? What must go on in their minds! :-\

    What about one of those with sloping sides and a non slip base? Might make it a bit more awkward for him to lift.

    Who know's what they think, maybe he just wants to share with the family!

    I've had a couple of dogs in kennels like this!

    One was solved by using a large bucket ewith a couple of bricks in the bottom- perhaps not practical for indoors though!
    Another one we made a bracket to attach the bowl to the kennel bars, again I don't think you could do this in a home.
    The third one we simply used a food bowl stand to hold the water bowl - stopped her picking the bowl up and paddling in it!

    Some great tips everyone! Thanks. I think my options are to stand and stare at him while he drinks or get a new bowl!
