Well that's my squee for the night!

Since they are descended from dog-like predecessors, I'm surprised more people don't keep them as pets. They are extremely friendly and cute, and they can be taught tricks, much like their canine cousins can.

I would've taken it out clubbing.

A bit of a windfall for the family in these austere times.

No, no. You've got to entertain your guests.

Cute, but if it peed anywhere inside the house, it will be uninhabitable for decades.

I found an old sno seal in my couch last week.

That was so LOL.

+1!!!

I want one!!! It is so damned cute!

Selkie? (new window)

THIS.

I don't know if it's diet-related, but seals, for all their extreme cuteness, really smell quite horrendous. I suspect that's why people don't keep them as pets more often. Like I said though, maybe that's 'cause of their diet of fish. Perhaps if you fed them on cat food, the smell could be lessened enough that you could keep them like cats (whose smell i fairly bad, you must admit).

"No no no....that's just a little frost on my beard!"

That was nice, and seems she reacted much better than most people I know that have a white couch.

There are seven pics of him here. (warning: slideshow!)

Cats fed raw meat diet have nearly scentless poop. I changed my cats over to raw food last year and OMG I wish I had done this years ago. I don't even know they've crapped until I clean the litter box and find the logs. They used to be able to clear the house.

OK, this time with the actual link...

Depends on Ms. Swoffer's skills with swiffers.

Yeah - why do the people who are most anal about their furniture tend to select furnishings that show even the tiniest spot? You'd think they'd go for upholstery that would camouflage and could be easily cleaned.

KoL? hardly. pastamancer, ascended a few times. Havent played since a little after the Penguin Mafia, should fire it up again soon.

He's getting a nap in before he gets clubbed, goes clubbing. Goes clubbing.

I wonder where its mother is. They can be quite vicious when it comes to defending their pups.

Soni: a babby seal walked into a bar... Bartender says, "whaddya have?" Babby seals says 'anything but a Canadian Club


/one ticket, please... lol

Dammit!
I heard it was 'anything but CC on the rocks".

Baby seals are damn cute.

thisispete: I wonder where its mother is. They can be quite vicious when it comes to defending their pups.

This too.

...and leave my personal life out of it!

Yeah, right ... and I suppose there's a penguin on the telly ...

I like my seal skin mittens. Got them in Yellowknife from a native, I'm assuming the seal was clubbed old-school. They warm my heart along with my hands.

What a clubbing baby seal might look like:

That was your feel good link for the day. Now for a bunch of stuff that's going to make you lose faith in humanity.

/it's not news, it's freaking depressing.

thisispete: I wonder where its mother is. They can be quite vicious when it comes to defending their pups.

I have a bad feeling that she's probably dead. I can't see a baby seal making such forays if he was getting fed, etc. by their mother.

Which means dumping him/her back in the ocean really isn't helping it that much.

THIS times a gabajillion gabillion million. It is also 876345334678987654 times better for your cat.

I set up a cage run from one of our windows and our cats go outside to poop in a fenced in area about 400'x400'. Litter boxes smell bad, but cats usually don't. Bonus? Even litter trained cats will poop outside if given the option, it's in their genes.

so it's a Sealy couch, then?

The pup was returned to the sea by a wildlife officer, but not before the intrepid adventurer got from the back of the car into the front and turned on the radio.

The seal turned on the radio? wtf kind of seal is this?!

... and then the penguin says "I was eating ice cream!"

One that still knows how to party.

Seriously, I want to hang out with this seal.

CAPTIAN SLAPPY: That was nice, and seems she reacted much better than most people I know that have a white couch.

Of course she had a good reaction. Her couch got the Seal of Approval.

Loose seal. Watch out for loose seal.
