A Splashy Voyage

Your question about going outside made my big ears perk right up! I scrambled out the patio door on all fours, trotting eagerly past the grass until I reached the cool stone base of the birdbath. Climbing up the textured pedestal, a clear pool of water gleamed in the sun. Without thinking twice, I gave a joyful squeak and dove right in! Splash! Cool water enveloped my skin. Remembering I cannot swim, I let out a startled burble before realizing my round belly floated like a cork. Paddling with my front claws, I bumped into a broad, floating yellow leaf and held tight, squeaking happily as ripples danced all around me.
