I have to admit that I am *terrible* at staying hydrated. (Just ask that nice paramedic that had to carry me off to the ER after a particularly ill-planned training run.) I know it’s important but I find myself neglecting that plain cup of ice water that sits next to my desk. I’m much more likely to get my daily water intake to a respectable level when I add some fresh lemon or a few drops of peppermint oil. I’ll bet your pup wouldn’t mind a little water bowl upgrade either!

Here is a refreshing recipe from the folks at Pretty Fluffy for basking in your sunny #FUZZYSPACE (Remember to hashtag your Instagram images of your own #fuzzyspace for a chance to win surprise gifts!)

Cucumber, Blackberry, and Mint Infused Water

• Fill your pitcher with filtered water
• Add a handful of washed organic blackberries
• Wash and chop a small cucumber (or half of a large one) into coin shaped disks and add them to your pitcher.
• Add 5+ mint leaves
• Let set for about an hour
• When serving to your dog, fill their water bowl with just the infused water to avoid choking.

Enjoy!
