1. A device, comprising: a. an interior plastic squeeze bottle having a bottom, a circumferential wall which terminates in a top wall extending to a neck having a closed top with an opening large enough to retain a straw which is press fit retained in the opening, the straw extending into an interior chamber of the squeeze bottle, which interior chamber is surrounded by the bottom circumferential wall, top wall and neck, and means to fill the plastic squeeze bottle with a liquid;b. the squeeze bottle is retained within an outer shell having a bottom wall, a circumferential sidewall surrounding an interior chamber into which the plastic squeeze bottle is removably retained in a tight fit manner, a top portion of an exterior wall of the shell having female threads therein, the circumferential sidewall of the shell having a pair of oppositely disposed openings, with a respective flexible cover respectively concealing the oppositely disposed openings, the flexible cover being non-removable but having sufficient flexibility so that a squeezing pressure on the flexible covers transmits a squeezing pressure to the squeeze bottle; andc. a drinking bowl having a generally conical shape with a circumferential top descending through a sidewall to a bottom having an opening which matches the opening of the straw, the neck of the drinking bowl attached to the bottom of the drinking bowl and in line with the opening in the bottom of the drinking bowl, an extension of the bottom exterior wall of the bowl having interior mating threads which mate with the threads of the shell so that the drinking bowl is affixed to the outer shell and the opening in the drinking bowl is aligned with the straw, the neck of the squeeze bottle permanently affixed to the bottom of the drinking bowl;d. whereby, when the flexible covers are squeezed, the squeezing pressure is transmitted to the sidewall of the plastic squeeze bottle and causes liquid to flow through the straw and into the drinking bowl and remain in the drinking bowl as long as pressure is applied to the circumferential wall of the squeeze bottle and when the pressure is removed, the liquid is sucked back into the squeeze bottle. 2. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a stopper to close the opening in the drinking bowl. 3. The device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising: the drinking bowl including a silicone trim on an upper rim of the drinking bowl. 4. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising the drinking bowl having an angular upper rim. 5. The device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising: the liquid is water. 6. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: the shell is made of material selected from the group consisting of plastic and metal. 7. The device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: the shell is made of material selected from the group consisting of plastic and metal. 8. A device, comprising: a. an interior plastic squeeze bottle having a body with an interior chamber to retain a liquid, the body including a circumferential wall and a top having a neck including an opening leading to the interior chamber of the squeeze bottle;b. the squeeze bottle is retained within an outer shell having a bottom wall, a circumferential sidewall surrounding an interior chamber into which the plastic squeeze bottle is removably retained in a tight fit manner, the circumferential sidewall having a first retaining mating means, the circumferential sidewall of the shell having a pair of oppositely disposed openings with respective flexible covers through which the circumferential wall of the plastic squeeze bottle is squeezed;c. a drinking bowl having a body including a bottom having an opening which matches the opening of the neck of the top of the plastic squeeze bottle, the drinking bowl having a second mating retaining means which engages the first mating retaining means so that the drinking bowl is removably affixed to the shell, the neck of the squeeze bottle permanently affixed to the bottom of the drinking bowl so that the opening in the neck is aligned with the opening in the bottom of the drinking bowl;d. whereby a squeeze pressure on the sidewall of the plastic squeeze bottle through the oppositely disposed flexible covers in the shell causes liquid to flow through the opening in the plastic squeeze bottle and into the drinking bowl and remain in the drinking bowl as long as pressure is applied to the circumferential wall of the squeeze bottle and when the pressure is removed, the liquid is sucked back into the squeeze bottle. 9. The device in accordance with claim 8, further comprising: a. the opening in the plastic squeeze bottle is large enough to retain a straw which is press fit retained in the opening, the straw extending into the interior chamber of the squeeze bottle. 10. The device in accordance with claim 8, further comprising means to fill the plastic squeeze bottle with a liquid. 11. The device in accordance with claim 8, further comprising a respective cover respectively concealing the oppositely disposed openings in the sidewall of the shell. 12.
