A Baby Seal!!

When I was little...I always, always wanted a baby seal. I think I was even hopeful enough to ask my parents for one. I decided as a small child that when I got older and had my own house and could make my own decisions...I was going to get a baby seal.



On one of my birthdays, my mom got me a stuffed baby seal. I just loved it. In fact, I still have it today (despite my mothers many efforts to throw away my precious stuffed animals. I even dug my stuffed animals out of bins at the DI...). Here's a picture of it:


When I found out that Spencer's favorite zoo animal was the seal...I knew that it was meant to be. That is the only reason that I agreed to marry him...was because he wanted to have a pet seal, too. When I was at Sea World while we were dating, I got him this toy:


I figured that it was perfect. I wanted a baby seal...and he wanted an adult seal. A match made in heaven, right??

Well, I guess that it isn't exactly realistic right now to put in an aquarium with a slide, etc. So that dream will have to wait. I have often ask Spencer if we can have a seal, especially after watching Animal Planet or going to the zoo. He promises me that we will get one someday... In the meantime...I have baby seal look-alikes.

Here are some pictures of our puppies and of baby seals. You tell me which is which!

Oh my gosh, that is so cute and funny! Dylan made me go through the whole set over and over again, and he would identify each picture with: "That's a seal." "That's a puppy." I can't believe you got some of the poses to even match up! I never knew that you wanted a seal when you grew up. You learn something new every day!!
