Smokey likes to drink from the bird bath when he is allowed outside (under supervision). We haven't been out in a few weeks because he is still receiving emails from the Pollen.com people regarding high pollen counts in our area, for his specific allergens...right now the predominant allergen is grass. It's a balancing act between letting him enjoy life (window whiffies, etc...) and keeping his eyes itch free and not swollen.
