Family's Brilliant Idea for Keeping Water From Spilling Out of Dogs Bowl Is a Game-Changer

Dogs make amazing companions, they curl up next to us when we are feeling down, their slobbery tongues give the best pick-me-up kisses, they gaze at us when we talk to them, and their dedication to making us happy goes unmatched.

With all the good that pets bring to our lives there definitely are some downfalls, and while they are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things they don’t go unnoticed. During rainy muddy months of the year, their paws track in wet dirt and mud, they get into trash and roll in dead things, it seems after a swim they purposefully come and find you and shake off right next to you, and their water station covers the ground around with water, creating a constant mess. One Family thought up a genius idea to remedy the water-spilling debacle, check it out below!
