Cheap Doggie Fountain

Russell being a rescue loves "found" water. He'd rather lick splashes off the floor or off the shower door rather than drink from his water bowl. Do you know how disconcerting it is to be taking a shower and see a tongue on the shower door? Something had to be done. This was a cheap easy quick build, my favorite kind. Materials: Small submersible pump -$9.99 Harbor Freight. Plastic chip bowl - $1.00 Dollar Tree Plastic funnels - $1.00 Dollar Tree Hot glue gun Water

Cut hole in top edge of largest funnel large enough for pump cord and inlet of water.

Run pump outlet hose through funnel.

Glue funnel over pump on bottom of bowl.

Place 2nd largest funnel on top of large funnel to determine length of hose and trim.

Hot glue funnels together with hose centered.

Carefully use hot glue to seal area around hose to ensure upper funnel will fill and not leak back down the center.

I put some notches in the top edge of the upper funnel to help with water flow.
