Night Stream Discovery

My heavy belly slid across the smooth bathroom tile after a long, deliberate crawl away from the kitchen. The quiet night air carried a faint sound that made my tail swish with joy: a steady drip-drop echoing from the porcelain cavern above! I hauled myself up onto the plush blue bath rug, using the thick, woven fibers to push forward until my snout pressed right against the cool, glossy side of the big white tub. Down near the floor drain, a shallow, crystal-clear puddle had gathered on the enamel. I happily dipped my lower jaw right into the pool, sending gentle ripples across the surface while the soothing sound of drops filled the room.
