and then some of it comes spilling out of the side of their mouths as they walk around… or maybe that’s just my pyrenees lol

My Australian cattle dog was terrific at the first part. Punching the water with his tongue. The next motion he was all screwed up with. He would pull the water out the side of his mouth.

The puddle he would make was larger than the bowl he drank from.

My parents' GSD would then make a beeline for the nearest person to wipe her mouth on their pants. My mom was keeping her water bowl in the bathroom for a while and she would bust in the door to drink when she knew you were in there peeing because then she could try to use your pants as a napkin.

She was just smart enough to get in trouble. She almost died as a puppy from trying to get at the cats' food. I have never seen cats work together before or since but they saw her slink into my parents' galley kitchen and they looked at each other and split up so each went running into opposite ends of the kitchen. If my sister hadn't run in ahead of them and snatched her up they would have tried to end her.

Exactly like mine i guess, another habit is wiping her mouth after she had any kind of food, always on the carpet.

Why do people always abbreviate German Shepherds?

And what does the D stand for in GSD? Dog? We know that, unless we're talking about Hans and Franz, the Shephards from Deutschland.

(who are here to round 👏 you up!)

It’s just the literal translation from German I guess. Deutscher Schäferhund = german shepherd dog

My dog is half Pyrenees and he’s the messiest drinker I’ve ever seen. Water goes all directions except toward his mouth. If he gets a third of it I’d be amazed.

Had some kind of mutt with the big chops like that. Eventually taught her "face" so that she would stand still while we wiped her face down with a towel.

I say eventually, because there was a bit of a process getting there, and I have a memory of hearing the lapping then thinking "here we go." Then a few short seconds later my grandma go "Ah! Oh my god! Face! Thunder!! Faaaaaacee!!"

Next time I saw her she had a spot the side of my head wiped down her thigh. Got her face... just not with the towel.

Golden's are notorious for this. Mine sometimes just sticks his whole nose underwater.

I think it’s just because Pyrs like to drink literal gallons at a time

My mom’s terrier has a stupid beard that drips all over the house every time it drinks.
