Looking for a "non-spill" water dish for our dog. Any ideas? Peter Chapin,Moon Beam ************************************** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

We take a squarish Rubbermaid leftover storage dish that holds maybe 1.5 or 2 quarts and cut out the center portion of its lid, leaving about 1.5-2" of the outside all around the lid. In any seas, it sits securely against a bulkhead on the non-skid in our small boat's cockpit, and almost never spills unless we happen to kick it. Cheap and simple.

For our cats we keep a two gallon bucket (the kind that paint comes in a hardware stores and that you can buy without the paint) on the boat deck full of water. If it slops over a little, it doesn't matter (the deck gets wet every time it rains, anyway). If the bucket doesn't fill naturally with rain water, we fill it when we fill the water tanks and in between if necessary. The cats think it's great, and seldom drink from their little water bowl by their food (which we put out when we feed them). I suppose a dog could figure out how to use it! :-{) <><><><><><><><><><><><>Mozilla Thunderbird<><><><><><><><><><> Bob McLeran and Judy Young Manatee Cove Marina MV Sanderling Patrick Air Force Base Defever 41 Trawler Melbourne, Florida On 12/23/2007 8:25 AM, Pchapes@aol.com wrote: > Looking for a "non-spill" water dish for our dog.

Bailey the boat dog, uses a nylon folding travel bowl, same material as a duffle bag, folds flat when not in use, and can only spill if a human gets in the way. Found mine at a local dollar store. We use it in the boat, car, everywhere she travels...GEH Garry & Sherry Haferbier 1982 MS1 #724 Barnegat, N.J. --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?

We stumbled across a non-spill bowl called a Buddy Bowl at a dog show several years ago and swear by it. In fact, this post made me Google to see if it was still available. I am glad it is. Here is one site: http://store.worldpetstore.com/orbudbow.html You can turn it upside down and water will not come out. It is stable and you fill it from the top like an ordinary bowl. We have yet had a dog (or our old cat) not use it and we joke that they like it because it reminds them of a toilet bowl. We currently have a shaggy dog and it helps contain some of the "runoff" from his beard. The one downside is that you have to pull it apart to clean it occasionally and the lid may be the toughest Tupperware-style lid you have ever wrestled with. Usual disclaimers.
