Loki did this too. I guess it's nice to know he's not the only one. He would drain a 16oz bowl. Basically any water I poured would be gone immediately and then he had to pee every 5 minutes for an hour. We couldn't possibly leave water out all the time or leave it in the crate. We still "limit" water but he gets way more than he needs. They need 1-1.5oz per pound of body weight. Loki is about 12 pounds and drinks 2-3 16oz bottles a day.
