[NAGDU] You can lead a dog to water ...

[Ann Edie]

Hi, Tracy,

Have you tried bringing a bottle of water from home and seeing if Krokus
will drink that? If so, then he might be telling you that he doesn't like
the taste of the water in your new office building. If he won't drink the
water brought from home, then perhaps some other condition at the new place
or the trip to work has made him less thirsty than the previous routine.

If you're worried about him becoming dehydrated, you could try making the
water at the new building more interesting, such as by adding an ice cube to
it or by adding a little broth.

Hope you solve the puzzle.

Ann

I can still hear my instructor in my first class telling me "You can lead
a dog to water, but you cannot make her drink."  But still ...
I recently moved to a new office building.  In my old place, Krokus would
get a big drink when we came in to work, then nothing for the rest of the
day.  In the new building, he doesn't want any water all day long, and I
keep trying to figure out why.  I've tried giving him water in the kitchen
or the bathroom.  I tried giving him the cold water from the water cooler.
 He didn't want any of it.
The only difference I can think of is the water in the old place smelled
more chloriny.
I know, he's a free creature and he doesn't have to drink if he doesn't
want to.  But he used to want to, so I'm trying to figure out why not now.
I keep imagining he's actually thirsty, but something just isn't right. 
Any ideas?  Or shall I just take a chill pill and stop worrying about it?
Tracy
