This is why I recommend access to water all the time:

I wouldn't want to be thirsty and not be able to drink for five hours.
Good article! I agree with keeping water constantly available to dogs (especially growing puppies). I'd rather have easy-to-clean accidents on the kitchen floor than a dehydrated puppy. I just think the area I keep him in is TOO big. I don't want to keep him locked in a crate, I just need to down size so that he can ONLY pee on the pads. I've been researching playpens, but they're pretty expensive for my taste. lol. I'll keep looking though.
