Drinking Problem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Ayla has the same problem - or quirk, whichever you prefer. She digs at the water as if to stir it up, and it spills all over the floor. Sometimes she'll drink what's on the floor, and sometimes she'll drink from the bowl. ?? Go figure. Collars ~~~~~~~ I just wanted to post about a successful collar I made. It was with the help of several FMLers. I bought pony-tail holders ($.79). They're thin & black - about as thick as a dress shoe string. I then bought from the craft store silver sequin circles - 3/4 in diameter. They come with a pin sized hole on the top. (a bag of a hundred - $.99) and also a bag of silver metal rings (to attach the sequins to the hairband) - 50 I think in a bag - ($.69). Then I bought colored labels (circular - 3/4 in. diameter, transparent) and ran them through my printer and placed a label on each side of the sequin (one side with their name and the other with our number & name). I made several for each one, and they were so cheap, quick and easy to make, they can lose as many as they want - I'll just slip another one on them. The only one we had a problem with is our Little Man. He's too big and we had t stretch his out so it didn't choke him. Other than that - its a cheap and easy solution! - Mish MICHELLE Z.
