Here is the love of my life (aka Azar) having a nice long drink in the middle of a very hot afternoon … it always tugs at my heart when he asks to have a drink and then takes his time, with his tail doing that lazy contented flicking back and forth, bless him. Yeah, he could always drink out of the communal water bowl, which is changed several times a day in these temps to keep it fresh, but he prefers to drink out of his own glass and with someone paying total attention to him. Spoiled? Well, I do my best.
Meanwhile I am drinking at least three litres of water a day and have taken to putting bottles in the fridge so they’re nice and cold. I remember with a shudder when I was on chemo – both times during the summer – and couldn’t drink, or even touch, anything cold. I had to sip on room temperature (hot!) water, which wasn’t thirst-quenching at all. Strange after all this time that I still think of that every single time I pour myself a glass of nice cold water…
How much water are you drinking these days?

I have 600ml water blottle I keep with me at all times at work, I work in a large warehouse (26000 square feet)so I make myself drink at least 4 per 10 hour shift, but usually 6, no matter what time of year, otherwise I become dehydrated. Going to either the 2 water filters in the store is a nice way to get a 5 min break, especially in the hot season. Just coming into winter here, so making myself drink the same will be a challenge, as cold water in the cold, is not as nice as cold water in the hot
*snibbles and cuddles to Azar*
He is gorgeous as always

I think a 70cl bottle of wine contains about 58cl of other fluids which are mainly water. So in all, it must be more than a litre. Then there’s green tea, coffee, and sparkling mineral water. Yes, there’s always those.

I spoil my pets too 🙂 I don’t know, lately I’ve been drinking a lot of pure fruit juice and lots of water. I try to drink at least 1 or 2 litres of water plus other fluids, but some days its hard because water gets boring for me!

Who the hell knows? I always have a water bottle or stein in my hand — I’m either at the gym, working out in the yard, or pummeling some suffering person’s butt. There’s a design of BPA-free water bottle that I can get at a local hardware store, which gets brittle faster than the chemically toxic kind, and I have to re-up a couple times a year because they get brittle without the BPA and split splashing water all over the gym floor… I’m so popular there…
I love it that Azar drinks from his own glass. Nothing is more rewarding than spoiling a cat.

I just realized I committed an egregious redundancy there. I blame the awww-inspiring and hence deranging spectacle of the kitty… the shadow of that little pink tongue…

At least 3 pints per day, plus various coffee, peppermint and nettle teas. Plus of course, I am not getting the exercise that I am used to in order to dehydrate me more.

Every time I go for a pee I drink a large glass of water.

That’s what Azar does too – drinks after peeing.
Funny site!

And, Benjamin has his own glass on the bathroom counter, now that he decided the bowl on the tub was beneath him.
