infrequent/binge water drinking?

David · Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:46 am Post subject: infrequent/binge water drinking?

My puppy seems to be like a camel -- she seems not to drink most of the day but has an enormous amount of water in one sitting (usually in the evening around 8pm).

Should I be worried? She always has access to fresh water and I make sure i replace it several times a day

Nope, I wouldn't worry - it's obviously a little routine she has gotten herself in to and is quite happy with. Mine occassionally do the same and they have access to fresh drinking water all day and night. Wink

The only time I would worry is if this causes her to pee in the house during the night.

thanks -- maybe I am just overly anxious! I tend to get up at 4am and put her on a puppy pad and she has a pee then. She is only 13 weeks old so it's all relatively new for me.

Sounds to me as if you are and she are doing just fine David Wink

Enjoy her, she'll make the odd mistake but that's part of the pleasure of pups Very Happy

She is gorgeous by the way, don't think I've said that before Smile

David,

Heck - what's traditional these days? Very Happy

I'm sure you both absolutely dote on her and that's all she needs and all that matters Wink

Do you have any pics of her with her furry mummy? And perhaps with her brothers and sisters? Shameless touting for extra pics I know!!! Laughing

Aw fanks David!!!! I am a teeny bit biased but quite agree of course Rosie as a pup was too adorable for words - shame she grew into a tank! Very Happy

My Ella's attitude is clear to see in HER pics methinks - stroppy little madame she can be! Laughing

Going looking at those links now, see you in a minute Smile

OMG - serious drool alert - how the heck did you manage to pick just one? I'd have wanted the lot!!!! Embarassed

Mummy is absolutely gorgeous too!!!

Aww David.... great pics of Tia, she is gorgeous Smile

Its nice to see the pics of the mum and litter mates too...
When Bracken had her puppies last year , I took sooooo many photos and emailed them
to all the new owners every week... so they had pics of their dogs from minutes old
until they took them home at 8 weeks. Very Happy

Thanks Tricia -- I was lucky as it was my cousins dog so I got to visit every week and see the puppies develop. In the end I left it to the puppy to choose me and we were lucky enough to get Tia

I brought her into work on Friday and she was a huge hit. 140 new people to sniff and play with

Tilly tends to do that but we stop her from doing it now since she will drink her entire bowl and then throw it up over the carpet.
