Claim 15:
16. An animal watering device comprising:
a base including an inner wall and a plurality of recesses along the inner wall, wherein each recess defines a respective channel within the inner wall;
a trough positioned within the base and including an upper flange, wherein the trough is configured to store water, wherein the plurality of recesses and respective channels extend downwards from the flange of the trough to below the trough and are each configured to provide airflow about the trough, wherein each channel separately extends into a cavity positioned below the trough to thereby allow airflow between the cavity and each channel;
a water filling assembly coupled with the trough such that a portion of water filling assembly is positioned within the trough, wherein the water filling assembly comprises:
a fill valve configured to control a level of the water stored within the trough,
a shut-off valve fluidly couplable with a water supply, and
a hose fluidly coupling the fill valve with the shut-off valve, wherein the shut-off valve is configured to selectively couple the water supply with the fill valve, wherein the shut-off valve is configured to allow water to flow through the shut-off valve when the shut-off valve is in an open position, wherein the shut-off valve is configured to inhibit water to flow through the shut-off valve when the shut-off valve is in a closed position;

a ring positioned about an upper surface of the trough; and
a disc positioned within the trough to cover the portion of water filling assembly positioned within the trough, wherein the disc includes one or more openings to allow water to flow through the disc.
