Summer? Oh, I do remember that. Long ago, it was that time of year when it was sunny and warm, and people would go swimming.
As compared to this year, when there is NOTHING. BUT. RAIN. EVERY. DAY. I could swim to work, for cryin’ out loud.
But yes, those whiskers are indeed mighty alluring. I would swim in that pristine water with that furry guy any time. And then I’d go hug a koala.
This guy’s got the ‘stache, he’s just missing a bowler hat and cane.
“I dare say, old chap, that fish you have there looks delectable! Surely you wouldn’t mind sharing a mackerel with a mate? A flounder with a friend? A carp with a comrade? Some chum with a…well….”
as the current vernacular has it, “I feel ya” on the RAINRAINRAINRAINRAIN
…here in N.Fla…we had a bit of a monsoon season, a few weeks back. It got me so cabin-feverish that I set my Myspace status/ mood thingie up & just wrote RAINRAINRAINRAIN etc. there.
It didn’t stop raining for several MORE days …but I felt that I had wreaked my vengeance upon the Climate Gods. My condolences (walks away, CAREFULLY AVOIDING making any reference to the song “Singin’ in the rain” ….OOPS!!! did I say THAT? Clumsy me.
One of the animals I hope to come back as . . .should reincarnation happen to be the answer to what happens to us in the afterlife. To be that cute and agile in the water, and in the words of Denis Leary ” do cute little human things with my hands”.
And to float on my back, paw in paw with my loved one . . .
As most of us in the U.S. have a day off tomorrow in observance of July 4th, I vote that today be designated Reality Casual Thursday so we can see the little safari guy beep this otter’s nose.
@Skippymom…hey, send some of that rain over here to Mississippi. My lawn is turning brown. (Ok, so I could water it, but it’ll green up again when it rains.) And I have cuddled a koala – it’s a sweet experience.
Swimming sounds like a good idea. Soon as I get off work – but there won’t be any otters in the pool. (Hmmm….wonder if they’d notice at the zoo if I were to climb into the otter pool…nah, better not.)
As I have lived a summer in the west without any rain, I have decided to further balance out the national CO sheet by moving to Arizona in three weeks where naught but the cold, cold finger of death can provide respite from the ungodly outdoor furnace that some idiot built a city in.
hon glad- small face fans, battery operated, with a tiiiny standy-up frames for perfect vector for cool, cool air………now, tell a Peep, what is it you do?
1. Frozen Otter pops
2. Spray liquid nitrogen on whiskers
3. Balance iceberg on chest

Berthaservant (PhD), be careful! The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce might sent their hitmen to “welcome you to your new town.”
I’m staying cool, in this lovely 62F weather, in the beginning of July, because global warming is nothing but a hoax!!
Love the nose, love the whiskers.
I thought it was a sea lion on first glace though. =X
Cute otter. Love their voice too.
Here in London, I aint staying cool, especially at work, where I am surrounded by seven TV monitors a computer and printer all giving off heat.
Berthaservant: You’re moving here? Cool. What city, if you don’t mind? I live in Tucson. ^_^

Berthaservant:
“The cold, cold finger of death”???
So, now, tell us, how do you *REALLY* feel about this move?????
