Not impossible ... just FLO special training!
 
My late Rascal did the same thing.  When I would change the water in the
Croc- Loc bowls in their cage, she would dart up the ramps to get to
whichever level I picked to change first.  As I would be spinning the "nut"
to attach the bowl to the cage, Rascal would dunk her whole head (above her
eyes and nearly to her ears) in the water to take a drink.  When she was
done, she would lift her head and shake off all the water clinging to her
fur ... needless to say a good amount would end up in my face!  And Rascal
wouldn't make a sound either.  LOL!  Boy do I miss my little angel!
