    What do you use for a water dish?

    Kona (my 4 1/2 ft female) upends her water dish (a heavy dog bowl) every other day. I'm so tired of doing a major cleaning with each flood! The dog dish works fine for Ramona---but she's lighter and less active.

    Any ideas for something that will stay put?

    What kind of dog bowl. They make them that are cone shaped and are real hard to tip over.

    That looks great---Kona's is just flat on the bottom, with a little lip near the top---she slides it until it's against the hide and the up-ends it. I think I'll buy one of those today!

    4" pvc coupler from home depot and a 16oz disposable deli cup inside it. Works perfectly!

    P.S where do you buy your deli cups from when my rack gets built that is what I am going to be using.
