A Love Letter To Upstairs Water

“Upstairs water just hits different.”

It’s an observation we’ve had regarding Eddie’s water bowl in our upstairs bedroom. He absolutely drinks from his water bowl downstairs but man, when given the opportunity to drink from freshly filled upstairs water, he pitter patters to it the moment he can. And it’s always a BIG drink.

It’s like a secret fresh water spring that only he knows about. A good refreshing drink - providing energy for the day or a goodnight’s sleep. 

It makes me think about THAT water fountain in school. You know the one. The refreshingly cold water fountain that you spent at least 30 seconds at in front of a line of your classmates. It really just hit different. It was like all the water fountains came from room temperature city tap water - except that one. Also from a secret fresh water spring, refreshing you from an intense day at recess or after a big test or a hot day that the school’s lack-of-HVAC system just couldn’t keep up with.

Seeing (or sometimes just hearing) Eddie drink upstairs water makes ME want upstairs water. 

Cherish your upstairs water. It cherishes you.
