I climbed the sturdy terracotta rim, measured the depth with a keen eye, and dipped one white paw right in. A cool, sparkling ripple surged outward! Grasping a floating pink bougainvillea petal like a champion paddleboard, I gave a bold kick and set it gliding across the shallow basin. A natural swimmer with unmatched poise... wouldn't you say?
