Splashing the Sky

A shiny patch of sky was sitting right in the middle of the gravel path! I bounded forward to check it out, snout low and tail straight up. When I saw another fuzzy face staring right back up at me from the bright surface, I didn't hesitate—I leaped straight in with both front paws! Splash! Cool water sprayed all over my chest fluff, and the face instantly broke into wavy ripples. My wet paws felt heavy and squishy, but when I scrambled back onto the dry slate stones, look what happened! Every single bounce stamped a dark, perfect little paw print behind me!
