We had a problem. The kids kept accidentally kicking over or stepping in the dog’s water. Inspired by a homemade dog castle and royal dog feeding station found in the pages of an old Family Fun Magazine, we went to work.
We took an old box that was big enough to fit the two dog bowls and cut out two holes so that the bowls would fit in them nicely.
Sugar instantly liked it but she seemed to be saying, “Are you sure you’re done?”
We took the hint, and Anabelle set to work to make it look nicer.
Sugar felt the need to oversee. Anything involving the future of her food she takes very seriously.
And then the waiting for the paint to dry…. Family Fun suggests using a shelf liner on the top but we didn’t have that on hand so the paint will just have to do. Be patient, Sugar.
Yay! Everyone is happy and no one is stepping in water bowls anymore!
I love that she supervised your work! She looks very happy with her new bowl holder!
Grreat idea!
What a great project! The dog looks so happy. Great solution to a problem. I am a new Twitter follower from Made By Little Hands Mondays. Vicky from Mess For Less
That’s a very good idea. It saves mess for you. I love how you can let the kids help you decorate it however they want.:)
This is so smart! I’ve seen these before in pet stores and catalogs, but they are so pricey. What a great DIY solution
I love, love, love the dog water bowl idea! I’m so sick of wiping up spilled water! Question: How does your dog’s stuffed animal still have a face on it?! Ours would have chewed it off in 2 seconds!
Ours eventually did too! It just took awhile longer. She’s getting older. ( ;
Sadie is very upset now. She has a raised bowl, but it is not pretty like Sugar’s.
That IS a great idea. I should try that for our boys,…they always end up chasing their bowls across the floor in their haste to inhale every last morsel. Thanks for linking up!
