  6. katiedid says:

    In that last picture he has the same expression as that chihuahua that stands on cheeseburgers.. so pleased!

  7. mberkie0 says:

    Chubulence–that’s what it is–chubulence.

  8. Hon Glad says:

    Like all bebehs, is that a smile or is it wind and who’s gonna look in the diaper, “its your turn no I did last, yeh? I got up at 3am for the feed, but I….

  9. Katherine says:

    OMG… I LOVE the smile in the last one! Soooo adorabuhls!

  10. chanpon says:

    PUDGE!! Cutest..pudgie..ever!

    God, I love me some seals. And how exactly did he get on that rock anyway? That last pic = fat amoeba with eyes and a smile.

  11. jennifer says:

    Awww, smiley seal.

  12. joss says:

    the way he’s lifting his head and tail at the last one, he looks like me trying to do supermans at the gym. I’ll have to try it smiling like that, see if that helps.

  13. (the original) Mel says:

    He’s all bespeckled. I wonder if he tastes like a malted milkball. I…can’t help but wonder that…sorry.

  14. Theo says:

    NECKS: overrated.

  15. Theo says:

    (sorry, giraffes)

  16. bryn says:

    *gasp!* SEAL!!!!

    They’re so wonderful all intelligent thought disappears, and I’m left with only…

    SEAL!!!

  17. Laura says:

    This really made me laugh over and over. The commentary is just perfect. I think the last picture may be one of the most painfully cute things ever.

  18. Lurker says:

    I GIV DIS ROCK MAH SEEL OF APPROOVALS

  19. Theresa says:

    Harbor seal? Every so often, one hauls out on our (NYC) waterfront, and the whole metropolis screeches to a halt, UNDONE BY THE CUTENESS. Sealie then appears on all the local news broadcasts, newspapers and blogs, and gets a cute name.

  20. Jen says:

    Theresa – that’s awesome!

    And this has to be the happiest McBlobersons I’ve ever seen! I want to love it and squeeze it and call it George.

  21. Erebella says:

    You can still see the water trail it left churning in the first picture. I think it got up there in one smooth leap that only seals and penguins can do. Awesome.

  22. Estlin says:

    That third picture is a winner.

    And: people still strive for a bloody “bleen”? C’mon, people – get a life!

  23. Theresa says:

    A martini-slurping seal– reminds me of a favorite LOL-pinniped:

  24. I wanna go all Peruvian seal “MEEEAUUULGHHH” *snorgle* on him!

  25. sonybaloney says:

    Oh Leah! Those are beautiful pics! That kind of chubbiness makes the world go ’round.

  26. Jupiter Star says:

    Yeah, seals are adorable, no question about it…but what about Meg’s seal-language subtitles? That’s some pretty impressive linguistic skills right there!

  27. mberkie0 says:

    Dis is Harbor Seal – used to see “Hooover” (Bec. that’s what he said) at New England Aquarium in Baaahston. Dis one is bery cute.

  28. kk3 says:

    Estlin: don’t be so harsh…there are always new-comers to the site and they should be welcomed. If you’ve never bleened before…well, we all want to bleen at least once! :) Hugs to manynote.

  29. Tee says:

    Fat and Happy I am!

  30. WannaSmile says:

    OMG..so cute!

  31. Yitzysmommie says:

    ROTFLMAO @ Lurker.
    Adorabuhls sealio! Makes me think of chocolate chip ice cream.

  32. binky-mama says:

    Is it just me or does it look like God made harbor seals out of cake icing? You know just squeezed them out of those tubes right onto the rocks…Bloop!

    Oh and the smile? It keels me!

  33. Christina says:

    Aww, the third pic.

    Are we sure that isn’t some invention of the Japanese?

  34. Beth says:

    The smile in the last photo made my day. New background! I mean, whatever badness is going on in life just seems to melt away when you have a happy, bloopy seal!

  35. darkshines says:

    Seal of approval, lol.

  36. aloria says:

    Oh man. Look at this chunk. I want to poke it. He does look like he took a most satisfying fart in that last pic.

  37. Theresa says:

    @Mberkie0– I am so jealous that you got to see Hooovah! Word had it that he grew up with a Maine fisherman, where he got his pronounced Down East accent. ;)

  38. eikoleigh says:

    omg, he’s so cute….that smile on his face in the last pic is just precious!!

  39. Ellis says:

    “I own this rock, it is mine!”

    So damn cute.

  40. debra y says:

    it’s truly the captions (however short) that make CO so adorable!

  41. berthaservant says:

    You just know he’s cracking that smile because he ordered the martini “on the rocks!” (rimshot)

  42. taj says:

    I have a sudden craving for straticelli gelato! mmmm….

  43. Theresa says:

    BTW, look at that whiskery muzzlepouch/poof in the head-on shot. Wowzers!

  44. Mary (the first) says:

    lol Bertha! I would love to join the sealio on the rocks and have a martini with him!

  45. jmuhj says:

    Can anyone out there IMAGINE the “ehn”-ing there must have been?

  46. Thistle says:

    Didn’t they say sailors out to sea too long used to mistake seals and such for mermaids?

    …Ariel?

  47. Theo says:

    “…part of your worrrrrrrld!” :SPLASH:

  48. OH MY WORDY WORDY WOOOOOOOOO, THAT IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

  49. Monique says:

    I love Harbor Seals!!! The sea lions get all the attention at harbors around San Francisco because they bark for treats, but these little guys are even cuter, in my opinion!

  50. Wbirdie says:

    Cute enough to make ya *blubber*, isn’t it?
    :D

  51. gravyboat says:

    Look at that little guy…just a-smilin’ and a-preenin’ cuz the sun is shinin’!

  52. He’s beached himself!

    Don’t worry, little guy! I’ll save you!

    :runs to the beach:

  53. Tanya says:

    The third picture is now my desktop background :D

  54. ButtaRumCake says:

    I agree 100% Binky mama!

    I’m so sick today (swollen tonsils & post-nasal drip)…these pics really made my day!!!

  55. ariel says:

    haha, that guy looks real happy.

  56. Mary says:

    “Oh man. Look at this chunk. I want to poke it. He does look like he took a most satisfying fart in that last pic.”

    LOL I was kind of thinking along those lines too (especially with the tail up positioning)!

    But still very cute!

  57. Lee says:

    He sorta looks like a new kind of marshmallow peep.

  58. Brandi says:

    I’m not sure if he’s trying to do ^_^ or :3.

  59. essacee says:

    This is most certainly a :3 .

    With a little squinting of the eyes…I don’t think a seal can make any other mouth than :3.

  60. Subhangi says:

    SQUEEEEEEEE!!! So much blobbulence! The last pic is a complete SEAL of approval!

    ::pokes chubbular belleh::

  61. Emmi says:

    Ah, guys, I like you a lot. Now I know I’m not alone in my tilting head-actions and “awww”-sounds.

  62. Ahhh… that is one CUTE and plump seal bloohping around.

  63. OMG. The SMILE in the last pic kills me. I think I´ll print it off, put it on my wall, and in my darkest moments in life I shall look at it and say to myself “things aren´t that bad” and feel happy. :D

  64. darkshines says:

    I made this guy my wallpaper. I finished with my boyfriend a few days ago, and needed a picture to remind me that life is ok and the world isn’t as scary as I think it it. Smiley farty seal cures all ills.

    Maybe thats where waves come from……

  65. jackie31337 says:

    Hey, where did you guys get pics of my parents’ dog? Seriously, they have one very cylindrical corgi-mix that looks just like a seal with an extra long tail when she lies down and tucks her feet under her.

  66. Thistle says:

    Ahah.. anyone who tries to say animals don’t have feelings.. Well this guy certainly knows how to enjoy the moment. That smile is adorable and heartwarming in the last picture.

  67. Limegirl says:

    @Christina:

    They may revoke half my ethnicity for this (which would probably be painful, but I’m willing to suffer for the the truth), but seals were a part of a top secret project during WWII, code named “KAWAIIIIIIIIIII!”. They were specifically engineered to derail the Allied war effort by distracting the forces with cuteness. Unfortunately the project turned out to be a wartime failure, as they managed to make them cute but not deadly.

  68. That has to be one of the most precious photos I have ever seen! I would love to see how the seal maneuevered itself on that rock… hehe :3

  69. Theo says:

    with many a bouncy squish, HM

  70. Mandy says:

    OMG! I know dogs do it but, I didn’t know seals could smile! That is one of the cutest things ever!

  71. Katrina says:

    HOOVER was a delight. His voice was very gruff and low and loud, and he had his own special enclosure in front of the NE Aquarium. The NE A. is right on the Boson waterfront and you’d hear tourists and boats and bells and construction and then this wonderful HOOOOOO-VAH, and know he was there.
    My then-boyfriend, then in Law School in B. (now Killer Corgy’s Dad and father of two skin babies), had me walking through half of Boston (sorry, Baaahstaahn) as I visited. He said he had a ‘surprise’ he wanted to show me. It was Hoover.
    Hoover was a very special critter and inspired a whole lot of “AWWWWS’ every day. Bother were (are) worth the walk!

  72. mberkie0 says:

    @Katrina: Yayess, we sawr Hooovah at the ‘Quarium a numbah of times. I lived in/neah Baahston for some seventeen yeahs, altho I nevah did find a place to pahk in Hahvud Squayah.

  73. anahoj says:

    AWW

  74. Katrina says:

    mberkieO – I bet I’ve walked through it, but I never brought a car, so me neither!

    For those who don’t live near Baastaahn, DON’T DRIVE there! Massachusetts is the land of the red-light-as-a-simple,-mildly-felt-suggestion.Crazypeeles behind the wheel. mberkieO, you lived there, any comments?
