Greatwater Lake drive it like you stole it

(P - Koontz)

"CANNONBALL!" Rainier sprang from the rock he was perched on and crashed into the water, sinking down until his feet touched the silty bottom. He pushed against the lake bed and surfaced with a grin beaming from cheek to cheek. Carolina had finally, finally agreed to a "day-cation" and indulged his boyish urge to splash around in the water like an idiot.

He pivoted and paddled over to the shore where she was sunning herself in the midday heat. Rainier hauled himself out, water sloughing off his coat in a torrent. He refrained from shaking, and he saw that Carolina realized too late just what his plan was. With a shriek, she tried to bound away, but he caught her full in the face with a spray of droplets as he shook the water from his fur.

The sight of her damp from his prank brought on a bought of laughter that he couldn't quite quell, even when she snipped out something about rooting out some lunch. He jumped to his feet as he watched her go, and returned to the rock that served as his diving board once she was out of sight. He peered over the edge at the water lapping against the base with a wave of his damp tail.
