An animal water dispenser for use with a container for holding water includes a base, a heat source, and an upper component. The base component defines a support surface. The heat source is supported on the base component and has a heat radiating element positioned above the support surface. The upper component is removably mountable on the support surface, and defines a trough arrangement for receiving water and including an engagement feature for supporting the container on the upper component with the mouth of the container in fluid communication with the trough arrangement. The upper component is configured to radiate heat from the heat source into the interior of the container when the container is supported on the engagement feature. The upper component is configured such that at least a portion of the heat radiating element is positioned within the interior of the container.

A food serving utensil is provided for grasping food. The utensil includes two concave, bowl-shaped members oriented relative to each other to define a cavity. The bowl-shaped members are rotatably coupled at a hinge to allow opening and closing of the cavity using a single hand. The hinge is preferably made of a resilient material and extends over the bowl-shaped members to provide a gripping surface for operation. A lock is provided to lock the bowl-shaped members in a partially closed position. The locked position enables the food serving utensil to be easily stored in limited spaces such as a kitchen drawer. The lock is also preferably designed such that utensil will not open inadvertently while stored. The lock is released by pushing the bowl-shaped members toward each other, preferably in a specific location on the bow-shaped members. A method for making the utensil is provided.
