Oh my.... that just cracked me up Ann.... what a face that dragon has on him!!! Love it lass.

PS: I asked in the forum about your question to me re whether the Seal was a youngster, and this was the answer I got:

I'd say not because you can see that where the fur is wet, it is darker: I rather think the whole thing is patterned as you can see on its head and shoulders but a bit bleached out.

Common Seals can swim immediately (unlike Greys) so although obviously they eventually become independent, they aren't abandoned in the same way as young Greys.
