At our park there WAS a small water bowl which was attached to the water fountain at the park. It was perfect for a little water break for Brodie mid-run. Recently the water bowl went missing, someone needed it more than we did (or the community).
Rather than complain about it, Brodie & I wanted to be part of the solution.
So we bought a new bowl and ran with it to our park – that was awkward, one leash, one water bowl, one water bottle for the human – but only for 2 miles until we got to the park. We left it behind for the community there. Hope it is still there for our next run – he lives for the run and it’s nice to be able to give him some water.
It felt good to spend the $5 and be part of the solution in a community, rather than just sit idly by while and complain that someone stole our water bowl.
