Ajay KShe'd do the same for me
Isn’t this what everyone should do? There are heavy metals and other contaminants in the tap water in most places.
And your fridge can filter heavy metals?

Wait, what kind of heavy metal are we talking about?
My dog will not drink from his bowl unless he sees me dump out yesterday’s water in the morning and fill it up with fridge water. My mom keeps a bowl for the dogs at her house, and the other day she filled it with tap water. One dog drank it, Snobface McGee did not. When my mom dumped it and refilled it with fridge water he drank it. He’s my buddy though so I will always make sure he has fresh fridge water.
andrewThis reminds me of our dog, whose tastes have evolved significantly as the kids have gotten older and the food they drop has presumably improved. Cheerios, once a delicacy to be inhaled, now sit on the floor unbothered until we sweep them up ourselves.
Paging @[email protected] of [email protected]. They definitely have some interesting “picky dog” stories.
My dog is the pickiest eater I know. The problem I have is that it is never consistent. One day nothing is good enough, another he ignores steak for kibble, the next is a cat food day, then all of a sudden it is time for steak!
He has the forbidden knowledge that you can crave certain food at the moment, but he has no way to tell be what exactly he wants haha.
but he has no way to tell be what exactly he wants haha
Might it be possible to teach him to associate a picture or toy with certain foods (or food categories), and “request” foods by bringing you that toy? Something kind of like this but in reverse. I once had a neighbour whose cat (yes, cat!) would purportedly “request” his dinner from a lineup of sealed canned food.
I’m a grown man with a fat bank account and I drink water from the tap as do my four kegged friends. I am lucky enough to be able to choose to live in a developed city with clean drinking water. Which really should be the norm. I know this story is supposed to be uplifting but it makes me sad.
Loads of people in cities with perfectly clean and healthy tap water still use water purifiers because they like supporting the filtration industry, or worse believe in crystals doing magic to their water.
proleJust because the water coming out of the main treatment plant is good, doesn’t mean it’s free of contaminants by the time it reaches your tap. Why not filter it once more before, you know, incorporating it into 70%+ of your body mass?
Because those filters don’t filter out the stuff you’d actually wanna filter (lead) and they can grow mould and make your water worse instead. (I got this from a consumer testing org like wirecutter)
This is why you change the filter on a regular basis. Also, even basic Brita filters remove lead.
Why does a story about giving filtered water to a dog make you sad?
For a non burger, what is refrigerator water?
Is it condensed water?
Why?
Some fancy ones have a tube that hooks up to a water supply, which can be used to make ice, or routed to dispense slightly cooler water than you’d get from the tap. Typically, you would want that filtered, and pretty much all new fridges with a water hookup are filtered.
Very convenient in a lot of ways, but I’m not a fan personally. Most people don’t change the filters often enough, and there’s really no way to clean things enough for my satisfaction.
But it is very, very convenient to have an ice dispenser and cool water in one place.

Tasty tap water.
Our governmental system only contains enough feedback to account for 200 million people. Beyond that, the level of signal quality degrades and democracy breaks down.
This results in bad tap water
Stop guilting me
