If I use a collapsible bowl it is a PIA to get level, it collapses, she steps on or I do and the water is gone. If I just let it drizzle out she looks at it like an idiot. I may try the hat thing Dean, I wonder how well my hat will hold water.

Andy, due to the 4 tiny vent holes in the crown some water leaks but not an appreciable amount. And for an eager thirsty dog she’ll get easily 80% of the water you pour in.
Extra bonus on a hot day your head cools off a little when you put your wet hat back on.
