Do you mind if a dog drinks from the water fountain?

Should the city provide separate but equal water fountains for dogs, or can we all just get along together and share the same fountain?

Dogs are people, too!!

:roll_eyes:

Both sides need to meet in the middle: train your doggie to drink without lapping his tongue all over the fountain!

Dogs, no.

Billy, yes.

what about cats?

this is racist!

I Demand a recount!

In some walking parks they actually have water fountains for dogs.

only if the dogs get only the highest quality filtered water. after all, they deserve the cleanest water after they lick their butts.

do you think people who lick butts should have separate drinking fountains?

In matters such as this I tend to go with the ignorance is bliss philosophy. If I see a dog drink from a water fountain I’m not bothered. If I see a dog lick its or any other dog’s butt and then drink from a water fountain, I’ll look for another.

I have been fortunate not to see any person licking another person’s butt and then using a water fountain. I suspect, but have no first hand knowledge that, people who lick other people’s butts probably brush their teeth and perhaps even rinse with mouthwash, before venturing out into the world.

Billy, how extensive is your personal experience with butt licking?

I just saw the movie Bruno, very entertaining.

Other than that, my dog does NOT lick her butt.

I’ll agree that I don’t want anyone slurping their tongue or other body parts on the fountain hardware. Otherwise I’m fine with sharing the water with everyone.

One of life’s inequities: I won’t drink from the toilet like my dog but I’d let her drink from the same fountain.

I don’t even like to share with people. I carry my own personal Camelback. I remember kids stuffing earthworms in fountains at elementary school a zillion years ago. I don’t do public fountains.

It helps the Immune system

OK. Majority rules.

Dogs are now permitted to drink from water fountains formerly reserved for humans.

Cool.

i dont know but i do

no they should have a special founitain for dogs and billy this is a unicycling website not dog and supreme court judgement room

This is JC, or Just Conversation. Created specifically for talking about stuff other than unicycling. Don’t want to read about stuff other than unicycling? You know what to do.

Some people post unicycling stuff in here too, most of which would be better located in rec.sport.unicycling. But some of that is Just Conversation too…

This may be of little consolation but dogs use a different side of the tongue for each task. Top side licking up on the nether regions. Bottom side scooping underneath to drink.

You guys drink water? Why?

No reason.
