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! Marc Wilson and the Tres Amigos (Bandit and Slinky ... missing their sister Rascal) [Posted in FML issue 2293]
