CLAIRE FENWICK, MAISIE'S OWNER
This is the fountain Maisie drinks from now.
The same little dog who walked past her bowl for months. Here she is on the far side of it, and the thing that turned it round was a simple one.
This is Maisie now, drinking on her own.
The first time she really drank, I cried.
For two days the fountain sat where her bowl used to be and she would not go near it. I had more or less stopped hoping.
Then one evening I was at the sink with my back to the room, hands in the washing up, and I heard it behind me. A small, steady lapping. I turned round with the suds still on my arms and there she was, head low over the moving water, drinking, properly drinking, not looking up at me, not stopping for a breath. I stood there and let the tap run cold over my hands and cried in my own kitchen over the sound of a dog having a drink.
The vet had told me plainly what Maisie needed. Moving, filtered water, a fountain, something that would not sit and go stale the way her bowl did. When I went looking, one name kept coming up. PureFlow. So that is the one I tried.
And it really was that simple. It keeps the water moving and filters it clean all day, so it never stands and turns the way that bowl did.
The moving, filtered fountain the vet pointed me to.

She goes to it on her own now, several times a day, more than I ever saw her take from a bowl in a year.
And it turned out I was not on my own in this either. When I went looking, other people were quietly saying the same thing in their own words. Tom, up in Leeds, said his Labrador barely touched his water before and now goes back to the fountain again and again through the day. Emma, over in Manchester, could have been writing about Maisie: rinsing the bowl every morning, the film creeping back by teatime, until she switched, and now her dog just drinks.
There are 60 days to send it back if it is not right, and they stand behind the pump for a full 12 months. I read that and thought, well, the only thing I have really got to lose here is the trying. And I had already come far too close to losing rather more than that.
60 days to try it. Nothing to lose.
