Hell of a cute seal
And with time he’ll get used to the water.
It would, however, be
Karma for that thieving bird to get
Used to junk food — obesity and flying don’t mix.

You thought the seal was cute, you should have seen me being introduced to gin.

You swam around in it with fear in your eyes—and then quickly felt at home?
I’d concluded “tengrain” referred to breadmaking. Was I wrong?

Adorable seal, fearless bird. Pretty good goal: irresistible innocence and unstoppable with panache.

Nice to have you back albeit in wonderful little vignettes. How did the seagull know where the chips were stashed?

Thank you, Nancy. Lovely to hear from you!
I suspect the seagull is a multiple offender—and perhaps this is an inside job (!).

The gull looked like he had plenty of experience doing that. Obviously a hardened criminal

Both of these made me smile. Thank you for finding and sharing them. I particularly love the way the human patiently holds the baby seal’s chin above water until it figures out that it belongs in the water. And I admired many different gulls while writing new songs recently in nearby Cape Cod. They are so beautiful and aerodynamic! It is only because they are somewhat ubiquitous that I tend to take them for granted. The one in this video is very smart and observant. S/he takes advantage of the store’s positioning junk food impulse purchases immediately upon entry…

Glad you enjoyed them, Will.
Yes, I think the handler’s gentle assist was most endearing. It’s good to see that loving care.
Great observation about the seagull’s apparent canniness in adapting to marketing techniques for personal gain!
