yes....bought one of those bottles and placed it in her kennel.....she sits there when I'm putting on makeup and combing my hair or making the bed. But she doesn't drink from it.....sniffed at it and when I showed her the water dripping out she retreated to back of kennel. Still trying different things. She had a broken lower jaw when they rescued her, and it was repaired by wiring it together and wrapped the wire around her canine teeth to hold it together.....it got infected, pulled the teeth loose and they had to remove the teeth and part of her gum.....she is missing about 29 teeth hence the reason for the moist food. Not sure she could handle ice... She is fine now and we love her wonky little jaw. Little things keep showing up as time goes by. She is just now beginning to 'play' a little with us. Waiting for her to learn to play......and be a happy dog.
