The Dog Bubblier

. Wednesday, April 28, 2010 .
If you are from WI you will know that I am talking about a drinking fountain, like the ones that you had way back in elementary school. It took me awhile and several students to take me out in the hall and point to the 'bubblier' so I would understand that the kid was asking to go get a drink from the fountain. Just one of those strange things from up north. We had a small family birthday dinner for Emmy on Sunday. Bryce and Tini brought all the dogs...Seau, Tobi and Parker. They ran around the yard like crazies. Bryce and Michael threw baseballs into the neighbors yard and the dogs jumped like rabbits and horses over the flower beds and raised vegetable beds. It was a blast to watch.
We have been working on the yard getting it ready for Sarah's graduation party. The fountains are up and running. This fountain is made of rice grinding stones that Mark unearthed at a going out of business garden center. Thery had no idea what they were so, we got them for a really nice price. I could hardly contain myself. We decided that we needed a more powerful pump this year to make the fountain look right. I wasn't expecting a 7 foot water spout. So Mark and I fiddled with it for awhile and now I think we have it just right. According to Parker it is the perfect size 'bubblier' for all dogs. They just have to watch those big paws and not trample the flowers.

I can imagine that you are cracking up...thinking 'are these people crazy!' You won't be the first to think that. Let us know what you thought was a really cool idea...and maybe share some of your own ideas...where do you think we come up with all this cool stuff?
