Self watering bowl for your favorite traveling pet. Cheap, too.

Are you tired of filling your fur-baby's water dish?  Does the summer heat keep the water warm and unappealing?  Well, head to your local hardware store to buy a 4' length of tubing for under $5.00 and create this handy-dandy little self-waterer that not only fills the bowl, but fills it with ice cold water!




Find this little do-hicky hole (or drain tube) under your freezer in the back of your fridge.



It's right there under the freezer fins. A tray sits in front of it to catch the freezer thaw and then the water exits the hole and drips out of the exterior tube.




Here it is situated behind the tray.



On the outside exit tube, add some nylon splice and food grade tubing.



Attractive and  functional.  Something we all want.



Let drain into Pooch's bowl.
 Easy Peasy.


PS: That tray that collects the water can get pretty dirty...not sure why, dust?... but it does.  So clean it every now and then.
