No, you don't put it in the liquidiser, you take pooch to Sleaford. This is a dog's-eye view of possibly the only dog drinking fountain in existence. Looks like the well's run dry though! Situated outside the Manor House in Northgate, the trough was erected by Mrs Elizabeth Cross who died aged 96 in 1923. Mrs Cross was the widow of Canon Cross, Vicar of Appleby, North Lincolnshire and Prebend of Lincoln Cathedral. Mrs Cross lived in the Manor House after her husband’s death. She was a keen horsewoman and animal lover. In addition to this fountain she had an aviary situated opposite the Manor House which were affixed Coleridge’s words from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: “He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small.” Burns is attributed the words on the trough.
