Finally an excuse to use this icon

It rained last night, and for most of the morning, and I almost cried with relief! Now things are much cooler, there's a breeze, and all the humidity has left the air. Long may this continue!

I come bearing two seal-related news items:

Seal breaks into New Zealand home, traumatises cat and hangs out on couch (the cat is okay).

The return of Sydney's seals

Enjoy!

I am here for seal related news!

There have been lots of previous stories about New Zealand seals entering houses via catflaps and dog doors - seems to be a thing they do, especially in bad weather.

Great articles, that seal pup must have been so confused to find itself inside a house

[dolorosa_12]

I know, right? Glad you liked the articles.

Yay for rain and cooler temps! And seals!! *g*

It is such a relief, although we could always do with more rain…

Glad you liked the seals.

I have now sent these to everyone I know, thank you!

[dolorosa_12]

Aren’t they just the best?

Yay for rain! And seal related stories. It's funny that the first one ended up in the home of a marine biologist and he was the only one not there at the time. Funny how that worked out. :D

I know, right? Everything about that particular story was just amazing!
