No Water :(

There is a water fountain for drinking in the park we go to, and there is something unusual about it. There are three levels: one for adults to drink, one for children to drink, and one for dogs to drink. Radar quickly figured this out, and he often got a drink whenever we passed. However, after a while he began to lose interest, and no amount of coaxing could get him to drink when there were skateboarders to watch out for.

As soon as the cold weather set in, the water fountain was turned off. Yesterday, Radar stopped at the fountain for the first time in two months! He snuffled the bowl and looked at me, waiting (sort of) patiently for me to turn it on. I tried, but of course the water's been off for weeks now. Still, Radar sniffed the bowl again, just in case doing so would bring him the water of life. I just wish he was that eager to drink the water at home, where there is always fresh water available, but seems to be drunk only after extreme thirst has set in.
