Our two fuzzies, Squirt and Pippi, have a water bowl outside their
cage for when they're on the loose.  Squirt usually likes to grab it
with a front paw and drag it around a bit before drinking from it :)
We have yet to figure out why, but it's pretty funny when he ends up
slopping water all over the place (including all over himself) as a
result!
 
We've also noticed that our guys like to shake their heads after
lapping down some water -- maybe to shake off any drops left on their
little chinny chin chins?
 
Both Squirt and Pippi would love to play in water -- if they could
just figure out how to do it without getting *wet*!

   Squirt - "Gee, Dad, I only spilled a little!"
   Pippi  - "Are you going to take a shower so I can lick you?"
