Conquering the High Slide

I lined up my splash course right along the edge of the porcelain bathtub. "Let's try to get so many people to knock this video!" I called out, then leaped straight into the warm, shallow water, paddling my paws in a lively doggy paddle. After conquering a gentle slide down a plastic bath caddy, I spotted the tall ceramic slope rising at the back of the tub. I scrambled all the way to the top and peered down into the basin. "Oh, I don't think I want to do this," I gasped, my floppy ears flattening with sudden doubt. But taking a brave breath, I let go—zoomed down the slick curve and splashed triumphantly into the water!
