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?

AWW

@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.

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!

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

with many a bouncy squish, HM

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

@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.

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.

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.
