The dogs have been irritated with me since the move to the new place. I figured out why today. There's this thing that they used to do when I took a shower ... I would funnel water down the sliding glass door into the metal track and they would stick their tongues under the door and drink the water. Okay, weird ... but they liked it.
Now, for the first time in recorded memory, we have a shower liner ... the clear plastic thing that is in the tub and a funky multi-colored streamer shower curtain from Garnet Hill that hangs outside the tub. The dogs don't like it. They have no water trough. They no longer come into the bathroom while I'm taking a shower. I tried to interest them in the Bernoulli effect, but they are more into particle physics and quantum theory than stupid shower curtains moving when the water is turned on. I started explaining it today to Scout because she absent-mindedly wandered in and took a lick off the edge of the bathtub, but then she just walked out of the bathroom while I was talking to her ... that's when I figured out they were pissed off about the whole shower-door-water-trough thing.
It's not a serious bone of contention ... not a Psycho thing ... yet.

If only ALL could have the life of your dogs and mine---ALL would have it made; tell me it ain't so. (smile)

Poor damn dogs. We had a shower door like that on the first house, too. We fixed it on the second house, though. On that house we built a glass block shower with no door whatsoever. Bear could just walk right in during or after the shower and have his way with the water however he liked. It improved our relationships considerably. *snort*

I LOVE Garnet Hill. *sigh* I just wish I could afford to redo my house in all their stuff.
I am so glad someone else spoils their animals as much as I do. I knew I had crossed over to the other side when I find myself spending lots of time trying to figure out what exactly the animals wanted and then rushing to do it for them.
I'm a sick woman.
