LOL, too funny. Ya thats what im using now is an electric dog dish. I was using a 100 watt bulb in a treble light but being enclosed under the chicken waterer caused the thing to get too hot and the wire in the treble light began to melt. A 40 watt bulb works ok but not when it gets minus 25 celsius. I just found it easier to take water out once a day to the heated dog dish. The bowl tends to get dirty all the time but I stuff paper towel in my pocket to give it a quick wipe before pour in the water.
