An Otter’s Work is Never Done

We look adorable, right? But what you aren’t realizing is I’m trying to drag my very late daughter – who has been on the phone with her boyfriend all night, mind you – to school, in order to make it to home room by 8am. At this rate, I’m going to have to send the attendance secretary several quahogs.

Still adorable, Diana H., and the original link is from  The Sun.

  26. Heather says:

    AWW!

    How big of a dork am I that the first thing I thought was, “Sea otters don’t eat quahogs! Quahogs are from the East Coast and sea otters only live on the West Coast!”

    @hovertext: Emmet Otter’s Jugband Mother’s Day!
    Jim Henson always wins the internet.

  35. wuyizidi says:

    Now I am convinced otters are made of at last 50% cork, how else can they just float like that?

  36. dub1 says:

    Sorry, can’t find the original with just Mother Otter and Emmet; here’s an edited version:

    Sniffle: from Jim Henson’s Memorial:

    when the river meets the all-mighty sea . . .

  41. Marie says:

    No words…This is just too special. <3 Makes me all swoonsy and stuff.

  42. There Otter be a law against these otterly adorable M-otter and D-otter moments..

  43. Kar says:

    I think I just ovulated spontaneously looking at this.

  44. Hon Glad says:

    Now kids watch carefully, this is the position to adopt when saving someone in difficulty
    in the water. You may find they struggle against you, just clog em on the noggin and
    they’ll cooperate.

  45. jenjen says:

    Awww, this makes me want my mom.

  46. Heather says:

    I have always though there was nothing cuter than an otter. I am still right. :)

  47. DewiCasgwent says:

    I’m sure Mom otter is thinking
    ‘I’ve just got him to sleep in that clicky thing flashes you will find out how evil otters can be’

  48. Kristabelle says:

    Aww, so adorable!

  49. Carla says:

    o m g that’s so beautiful

  50. Katrina says:

    How come they float? The air trapped in their dense fur? Floating and cuddling- two usually mutually-exclusive verbs!

  51. gryt says:

    Blubber?

  52. Tindi says:

    Otter! Otterotterotter!
    Can NOT have too many otters, EVER. CO’s doing a bad job lately of keeping me away from animals I want as pets but am not allowed. :P
