*****************************************************************************

It took one of my dogs a couple weeks to trust the water in the dog  
bowl when we moved from chlorinated Northern woods river water to  
limestone-filtered South Texas resevoir water.  Quite a bit more  
limey out of these taps!

Dogs aren't exactly well-known as conniseurs of flavor, alas, this  
particular mutt knew what he liked, and preferred to stick with it.

A touring musician friend swears by bottled water--says the different  
pHs from different taps around the country mess with his alimentary  
canal.  I've toured, myself, and report no such problems of which I  
am conscious.

BTW, the dog never hesitated to drink from a plastic bottle.  I,  
however, have switched to a refillable stainless steel receptacle for  
my daily hydration and it gets a resounding Aye vote.
