The Short Answer

Clearly because you are a dog. Really tho…"Most people like to drink water that is very cold. In the bathroom, the water is often very cold because the person getting a drink first uses the water closet (toilet) and flushes. This starts the flow of cold water. Then they wash their hands, which continues to flow the cold water. By the time they take a drink, the water is nice and cold. This fools the brain into thinking it tastes better." Kitchen water on the other hand is often left sitting in you pipes for long periods of time. Which is often why people open the tap and let it run for a few minutes before getting water. The colder the water the better the brain thinks it tastes.
