I'm a bit surprised at that. I wonder why that is.

Haha. No, we won't get a Labrador. Lots of people here have dogs although mostly the smaller breeds.

@rebelann There are only about 3 that are yappy and that is usually only when someone sets them off.

With the heat there, I'm curious how much it costs to keep that water feature running like that? Uhm, no, I don't really want to know. It's probably expensive.

@JudyEv I was thinking more about the evaporation of the water. We had a small waterfall that looked very similar to this one that was just outside my bedroom window for years. I had to refill it every morning. (Mine plugged into an outdoor outlet. I loved to listen to it while taking naps. The birds thought it was for them.

) Photo belongs to Walmart.

Some turn them on each morning and the solar power runs it so it costs nothing at all. Otherwise, I think the motors are mostly very small but the cost would/should be a consideration.

@DaddyEvil In the summer, evaporation would be an issue for sure.

I was thinking that the statue is a Buddhist monk, with his alms bowl. Don't think he'll get many gifts there!

I'll never look at it the same again! Now I think he just looks pensive looking at his empty bowl.

Perhaps I can convince them to put something in it.

@Ronrybs Haha - good idea. I might even contribute a couple of cents myself - except that the dogs might eat them.

This is a unique one - not the typical style/pose! For a lab to want to jump in, I wonder how big this actually is! I've been wanting one of those solar disks that create a simple bird bath fountain in a plate of water!

It's big enough for the dog but of course they don't worry too much about the size of the think. There is a bigger pool nearby but that is covered in Weldmesh too.

My mother in law is a Christian yet she had a lot of Buddha statues. Some of it are beautiful. Also your relative's Buddha statue is beautiful.

Much of the literature says Buddhism isn't so much a religion as a philosophy so it fits in sometimes with people's beliefs.

I admittedly had to laugh when I saw the title of your discussion because the smart aleck in me said, “Oh, like there’s a violent Buddha?”

I wouldn’t get a waterfall/water garden because of the cost (my water bill is about $80 a month

), but I love the sound of water. So peaceful. In fact, I have water sounds on my iPod to provide “white noise” while sleeping.

Fair enough. After Ron Ryb's remarks, I'm thinking it should be a despondent Buddha.
