- I've got a poodle/terrier mix (I think) that does something similar. His water
- bowl has a color pattern in it that makes it look like there's an object at
- the bottom. It's rather deep compared to the size of his head. Occasionally
- I'll see him drink from it, then suddenly stop and shove his whole face into
- it in an attempt to get the object from the bottom.
-
- Another time I dropped an ice cube into his bowl to see what he would do. Buddy
- wasted no time in removing it and dropping it on the floor. As many times as
- I would put the ice cube back, he'd take it back out. I don't know why he does
- this, but it's really cute.
