    The person who needs this list apparently has a dog and needs to be told to give it water. They should not have a dog

      I think that it is more about creating a routine for this particular person than the dog being neglected. Having the dog water on the list normalizes everything else. There was no instruction to clean up dog pee everywhere either.

        I suppose that’s another way to interpret it. The “clean up spills” part made me a bit concerned as to the type of spills and conditions in which the animal would be living.

      Just because you don’t remember being told common sense facts, doesn’t mean you weren’t. It probably happened at some random time without you making much of it, you just incorporated it seamlessly into your worldview. Now you look down on others for needing the same support you did when you were a child.

        I actually don’t mind that part at all; the way I read this just made me concerned for the welfare of an animal.

        I don’t know what else replace would mean here. I don’t think most people are using a new watering dish that frequently.
