Lake Edward, 2010.

[RICHARD]

I am glad to report that Lake Edward will open this year, with a substantially shorter shoreline.


After years of fighting against shorelines that spilled over onto the tile floors?

I finally figured out how to keep Ed from moving the waterdish/pan all over the floor.


I changed his waterbowl from plasitc pet job to an old sauce pan that I was going to toss out.


That didn't help.


About a month ago I found an old frying pan and placed the saucepan inside!!!


The floor has stayed dry since!

Ed still can move the saucepan back and forth-he loves to lick the water off of the sides-and it spills into the frying pan.

It's one more thing to do, but it sure beats having to friggin' mop all the time!

Surf's Up, Dudes!

My RB Sunny loved to play in the water bowls so my mom came up with the idea of putting them inside of a clean litter box. I've been doing this for years now and it works out great. I now use large ceramic casserole dishes for their water bowls and they are heavy enough that the cats can't really move them or knock them over. Good luck with Ed.

It does take a while but we silly humans do learn eventually.

Don't give him any ideas....

As they say Richard Necessity is the Mother Of Invention.
That's great that you will not be slipping in Lake Edward and hopefully have conquered the problem of wet floors forever!

Maybe you could buy Ed a baby pool for the summer.
