The pause that refreshes

There’s a coffee shop across from the park that we often stop by so Sahraa can have some water. I used to carry a container that she could drink from, but lately she’s been refusing that. I then switched back to a portable bowl into which I pour water I bring along, but she won’t have any of that, either. She only seems to like other dogs’ water or the water in this big bucket at the coffee shop. I had to turn off the shutter sound on my iPhone so as to not alert her I was taking a picture. Note: I had to refill the bucket because there wasn't enough in there to meet her standards, and I spilled a lot of it (she didn't make the mess ;-)).

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Now there is a coffee shop I would frequent. Sasha was the same much of the time, only drinking water from places other dogs had already used! V

What a great coffee shop to think of pets.

:-) Sahraa wants to go out for water while on the town! I've witnessed similar behavior - the often won't touch water I put in a bowl but can't resist lapping up a muddy puddle.

I thought the same as Jane. I guess having dogs, we see the same behaviors.

Picky, eh!

She knows what she wants! I’m glad she is able to enjoy the water. It’s great that the place does that. I love coffee so I would stop in too. V

I think she's spoiled rotten and she's the boss, she's priceless

Some dogs and cats are very particular about drinking water. You'd think she wouldn't be so choosy having been a 'desert' dog. Oh well, good on the coffee shop for providing the watering spot. V

Dogs definitely have strong views on how things should be.

She's a connisseur of fine water with just a hint of dog drool.

Water is the first thing during this hot weather, both for people and for animals. V.

She sure knows what she wants. Great shot.
