Wait till you get a dog with a lot of facial hair such as a wirehaired pointer. Then you’ll wistfully recall the small amount of water mess from that retriever you used to have. 
Oh, the indignity!
My two pups also have drinking issues. Neither of them actually makes a mess by the water bowl, which is in my tiled kitchen. Their issues come after they leave the kitchen. My Beagle is a pretty enthusiastic drinker, and will sometimes just keep going and going. Then she’ll walk off, and burps up a nice puddle for me in the living room. My Border Terrier somehow never fails to get his little doggie beard wet…which somehow must be an emotional trigger for him to come find me and shower me with kisses. He must really love me!
He also does take-out often. He’ll grab a mouthful of food from the bowl, then bring it to whichever room I’m in, drop it all on the floor (or the bed, if I’m in it), and finish his meal.
I was just thinking the other day how much cleaner my house would be without dogs…but I wouldn’t really ever want to find out. 
I just (tonight) cleaned the evaporator coils under out refrigerator, and was horrified to see how much dog hair there was! And, worse than that, the hair acts as a filter, which traps a mind-boggling amount of fine dust. I’m sure I’m going to notice out electric bill going down after this…
Last year My take-home work laptop fan mysteriously quit working. My IT guys fished a bunch of dog fur out of it and got it going again. Embarraskking!
I think that when your face is made of fur, you lack tactile lips, and your method of drinking is basically using your tongue to try and splash water down your throat, messing drinking is the norm?
In dog societies, it’s probably a cool thing to be the messiest or something.
My dog was a sloppy drinker too. This was helpful, a faucet water attachment, like this one.
ETA: she drank outside with this, of course, but there were a lot less drips and drooling. The first time, I had to show her how to drink from it. She caught on quickly and used it often.
Those are awesome, and a necessity here in Arizona. Highly recommended.
The snood of shame, judging by the look on the dog’s face. 
I had a golden retriever growing up, and her messiness seemed to be tied to how thirsty she was when she went to the water bowl. If she just went for a sip as she happened to be walking by, you might find a drop or two on the floor…on the other hand, if she was trying to chug most of the water in the bowl after a prolonged session of barking at the guy circling the neighborhood in his homemade ultralight aircraft, the surrounding floor would be soaked.
I saw this idea on Pinterest: a doggie water bowl set inside a larger bowl/planter, and shamelessly copied it.
So far it seems to catch some of the drips and splashing, I guess.
That’s not a snood, it’s a hijab. Dog’s a muslim!
