My boston Tawny does this too. We have a large water bucket in the backyard so she can swirl around in it. She does not like it if I get her wet though, only if it is on her own. It doesn't matter how small the water bowl is; she will try to lay in it and drink at the same time.
Here she is at the dog park-the one laying in the water.
