(I promise this blog will not turn into post after post of pictures of the Seal balancing things. That said, she obviously has a natural talent so don’t be surprised if every now and then you run into a picture of her with something new on her head. And yes, I am fully aware that the idea is a total copycat of Dooce’s Daily Chuck. Chuck is a dog of great talent and the Seal looks up to him. And like Chuck, only novice, the Seal happens to be able and willing to balance things on her head as well.)
This is my dog, the Seal, with her frog.
The frog is on the dog because the dog loves her frog… and peanut butter biscuits, which were given to the dog every time the frog stayed on the dog’s nog long enough to take a shot for Jesse’s blog.
What a good dog with a frog on your nog for my blog. Very. good. dog.

Oh man, I just let out a very loud HA! with that second picture. There should be a “too funny to look at while at work” warning.
The Seal is a very good dog indeed. Quite talented and adorable.

Thanks greg. And what a great idea. TFTLAWAW. It’s a little long but I too have been caught off guard with other blogs making me laugh out loud, proving that obviously I’m not working. I will consider offering that warning on future posts. -jj-

But surely Chuck is only a follow-up act to Oolong?!

Hi! Just found your blog… enjoying it very much! So happy to find more dyke bloggers from the Pacific Northwest!
I have a question about the adorable pooch: did you name her Seal? Is it because she is sleek and water loving? I’m asking because one of the all time greatest cats known to humankind lived with me for awhile. I got him at the pound and named him the Irish word for seal, which is Roan. When he rolled over for a belly rub he looked just like a harbor seal – all speckly and plump. I sure do miss him…
Your Seal is obviously very talented and deserves many treats!

Hey Elizabeth,
Glad you found my blog too. Ya, her name is the Seal because she totally looks like one. Especially when she’s swimming or sleeping. Violet and I started joking about our deadly Seal pup and the name just stuck.

She is so perfect.. I bet it took everything she had to hold it still. I think she can out do Chuck anyday..
I wish I could get my weenie to do that. He’s too stubborn.

Cutest thing I’ve seen all day. I have to go teach my dog to do that. But first I have to get a dog, since I don’t think my diva-kitty would cooperate.
Thanks for making me grin today!

i don’t want beer and cookies! i want Violet! « just like jesse james
[...] I try not to write too much mush here. I know my infinite consuming desire, admiration, adoring and my immeasurably, exponentially expanding potent love and like for all things Violet ring loud enough and clear enough here in other ways. I also know hearing mushy-romantic-wooings about another relationship besides your own is like someone going on and on about how great their dog is… only worse. Fine, cute, good for you, enough already, gross. Which is why I don’t do that either. [...]
