had to share these pics

hi all , i just had to share these pics of Molly drinking from the water bottle stand my partner made ...he didnt even want another dog its funny how they change when their in your home ,she is now laying on his lap asleep having cuddles ...lol he said this is the prototype and it would look much better after its been painted and personalised ...he thinks he's del boy sometimes..and i didnt have the heart to tell him i wanted a cylinder one ..lol

that looks great! just a friendly word of advice - it looks like he's made that out of MDF? Well, he's done a great job ... but my fella is a handy man and just mentioned that you need to seal it asap as mdf will swell when wet (from the bottle drips) and also if molly gets chewing on it - mdf is toxic so could make her poorly. Just seal it with a waterproof laquer of some sort - you can get them in a spray can.

tell him - job well done. Does he want to build me some shelves? My Handy Andy is very useful to everyone else, but by the time he gets home I can't get him to do anything for me!

he's got some stuff to put on it but wanted to make sure it was ok first before he did it but thanks anyway hun x and i know what you mean my other half does the red brick paving etc but there isnt one bit of it outside our house..lol

Looks fab!

To continue the theme, my husband is a joiner, my wooden floor has been part finished for a very long time

Molly is so sweet......

Me too, Ted knows about cars and if mine needs new brakes or anything, it takes him ages!

Molly is GORGEOUS!!!!!

BTW I need a new back gate pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xxxxxx

Very good I am sure he could get some orders for this stand.I do think it is excellent that you have got Molly drinking from the water bottle . I tried my two one one for when we are out in the car, but gave up probably if I had thought of it when they they were babies. I have now bought them a Road Refresher Bowl as seen on Dragons Den and it is great.

im really pleased she likes it as her little face was so wet after having a little drink from the bowl .. i thought it might take longer myself as she was used to the bowl from the breeder ,all i did was got her near it ,wet my finger with the water and tapped the silver bit and she started lapping at it bless her ,it was on the side of the cage and she still goes to it now but its in a different place so im having to tap the silver bit and she runs to it ..lol im sure she'll get the hang of where it is nowxx

Oscar never liked the water bottle, when we got Louis I used one on his crate. He used it no problem and went back to it rather than his bowl when out of the crate. Oscar followed suit so the bowl became redundunt. I still get the bowl out for when we come back from walks though so they can have a good long drink.
