Bathing Sibelius

Here's how I have to give Sibelius a bath:
>
> 1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
>
> 2. I add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water and have
both lids  lifted.
>
> 3. I obtain Sibelius and soothe him while I carry him towards the
> bathroom.
>
> 4. In one smooth movement, I put him in the toilet and close both
> lids. (I need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).
> CAUTION: I do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his
> paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find.
>
> 5. I flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "powerwash and
> rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.
>
> 6. I have Dorris open the door to the outside and ensure that there are
> no people between the toilet and the outside door.
>
> 7. I stand behind the toilet as far as I can, and quickly lift both
> lids.
>
> 8. The now-clean Sibelius rocketed out of the toilet. He ran shrieking out
> the door and slowly dried himself while glaring meaningfully back in my direction.
