Wow…look at Lucy! Only a week ago she was drinking out of cupped hands, but practice makes perfect, and she now drinks from the fountain all on her own. (Actually, it only took her one jump to get the hang of it.) It never occurred to me that this might disgust some, but there was a segment on pet etiquette on one of the morning shows, and the host mentioned letting your dog drink from a public fountain. She found that disgusting, but the guest answered that there are some humans she finds more disgusting who drink from the same fountains, so it didn’t bother her at all. I’m with her.
