Do As I Say, Not As Dogs Do

We are regularly instructing Lillian in the importance of leaving the dog's water bowl alone but in her love for water she finds the open bowl a temptation too great to bear. Today I found her leaning over the water, her head tipped down as low as she could go, her lips nearly on the rim of the water bowl. In exasperation I asked her "What on earth are you doing girly?" and she promptly told me "Drink of Water." Of course, silly me.
