Max the Explorer
Published by Kerry | Filed under Uncategorized
While getting ready this morning I heard a strange clang. I didn’t think anything of it since I had DIY on (TV) and Renovation Realities was playing. After a few minutes, I peeked out of the bathroom to see what the boys were doing since I could only hear Wes – Max was nowhere to be found. I went in to the kitchen, since that is his new favorite place to hang out and there he was, sitting in the middle of the room with Rex’s water bowl about 8 inches in front of him. Max had picked up the bowl and flung water all over the room and his outfit was soaking wet. He looked up at me with a huge smile as if to proudly say, “Look what I did, papa!”. Despite the urge to be annoyed or upset you can’t really blame him, Rex does have shiny metal bowls that Max just couldn’t resist. I wish I would have taken a picture.
Being that Rex is small, it’s not really practical for us to put his bowls up onto something as he wouldn’t be able to reach them. And since the boys like to crawl up to anything taller than them and use whatever it is to pull themselves to stand up, that may not solve our problem either. Anyone have suggestions on what they did with their (small) dog dishes so that their little one(s) didn’t get into them?
Thanks in advance!
Jeff

Owen was fascinated with the cat water fountain at that age/. We just said “uh-oh” and re directed him… x 1,000,000. Eventually we could just say “uh-oh”

Violet has done this with the cats’ water and food bowls. The easiest thing that we found to do was just gate off the kitchen. Now she can be in there at 14 months and we can say no and she stays away, but at the boys’ age, we had to just gate her off.

We are having the same issue. We have a 9 month old (and a Bichon and Pomeranian) that loves to crawl and dump their water bowl over or zoom around in his walker and knock it over!
They are small dogs too so we either put the water out when he is not in the kitchen as well as mealtimes or supervise him when he is in the kitchen. As long as I know they have multiple oppertunities to drink throughout the day I know they are ok. Another option we have considered is putting it in our laundry room.
Wish I had better advice!

I second the gate- we had to gate off our dogs’ water bowl so James wouldn’t play in it. It wasn’t foolproof, he did still manage to give his stuffed animals baths in it, but it was easier to keep him out of the water that way. Now that he’s closer to 2 at least he doesn’t try to drink it.

We are about half way through our pregnancy with our first and we have a yorkie (who I think would get along fabulously with Rex). I’m less afraid of the baby getting into the water bowl and more afraid of our pup licking my baby to death. How did you guys deal with the licking when the boys were just coming home?

Andrea,
Rex is fantastic with the boys so the occasional lick is not something we worry about. Every morning when we get the boys up Rex HAS to go down with us and greet the boys. At first he would lick them over and over but now (after many times of us telling him to stop) he controls himself. When we first got the boys home that was when he was the most curios so any time he would get near them we just made sure we could grab him if he got too excessive with the licks. As long as your Yorkie is well tempered and behaved that I am sure it won’t be a big deal.
