Here’s a summary of the article:
An Okotoks family, led by Kyla Taylor-Lacroix and her children, has created a pet-friendly water station in their front yard for local dogs and cats to hydrate while walking. Inspired by local restaurants that offer water bowls for pets, they decided to make their own after noticing many neighbors walking their dogs amid the hot summer.
The project became a fun family activity, with the children helping to paint and decorate the water station using materials sourced from Home Depot. The water station has been well received in the community, with positive feedback from neighbors, including a cat that recently enjoyed the water. Taylor-Lacroix encourages all thirsty pets to make use of the station, which will be kept outside as long as weather permits before being brought inside for winter.
