We are Tim, Diane, and Kaylyn Miller, residents of Central Indiana. Our family dynamic has been enriched by the adoption of our granddaughter, Kaylyn, who has been an integral part of our household since the age of 16 months. I am a disabled veteran with an extensive 28-year tenure at Chrysler Corp., while my wife Diane contributes her expertise part-time in the insurance claims sector from our home. Our household is also shared with a venerable group of pets: a 10-year-old female Doberman, a 7-year-old male Golden Retriever mix, an 8-year-old female Golden Retriever, a 5-year-old male Golden Retriever, and two esteemed cats, aged 18 and 20 respectively.

The inception of the Puddles B Gone idea arose during a period when our home was populated by four sizable dogs and two cats. Our daily life was perpetually challenged by the incessant battle against water spillage—an omnipresent issue that rendered maintaining dry floors a formidable task. Despite extensive experimentation with trays, mats, bath towels, various waterer designs, and multiple attempts to elevate or lower the water dispensers, we were confronted with consistent failure. The myriad of waterers tested—totaling between 10 and 15—did not satisfactorily resolve the issue, and the most effective solutions lacked sufficient capacity to endure throughout the day.

An ironic turn of events occurred when I sustained a shoulder injury from a roofing accident, necessitating surgery and a six-month recovery period. During this time, I was confined to a recliner in the living room adjacent to the water dispenser, which became a daily reminder of the persistent water spillage problem. This experience provided me with the insight that the excessive water intake by our dogs was leading to spillovers. Motivated by this realization, I embarked on developing an innovative solution to address the fundamental issues associated with water spillage, including the incorporation of a handle for ease of handling.

The culmination of this effort was the creation of Puddles B Gone, a product that, upon its first successful trial, prompted the realization of its novel utility. My wife, Diane, demonstrated unwavering belief in the concept by securing a provisional patent without my prior knowledge. We then refined the design through feedback from family and friends, who, after testing, enthusiastically refused to return their samples, affirming the product’s efficacy.

Having recognized the universal challenge faced by pet owners, we are excited to introduce Puddles B Gone to a broader audience, with the aim of providing a practical solution that enhances household cleanliness. We look forward to a future where this innovation contributes to a drier, more comfortable living environment for all.

Thank you,
