Daisy did about the same thing! She would sit on the edge of the bus boy tub full of water & hoot & coo at me looking at the water & then me. She would splash me with her face & just look upset, pouting that I was gonna get her wet again. She did love the hair dryer afterwards though, so after a while she figured it was worth getting wet for the fun dryer.
She loved the car rides though. I have a back pack carrier that has roller wheels too & you can buckle it in like a carseat. She liked to ride with the window open in the front seat of my bug & look out. If it was just a drive around midtown I'd zip the netting window open so she could stretch her neck out. The looks at stop signs from the next car over was pretty funny sometimes. had a few people actually get out & reach over to pet her
She was pretty cool.
