Seal

I have a pet seal named Articula. I built a pool in the backyard for her to swim in. I supply it with plenty of fresh fish so she can eat to her heart's delight. Sometimes I swim with her in the pool. We chase each other around. She's a fast swimmer and I can never catch up with her.

My friends kid me. They ask why I don't get a normal pet, like a dog, cat or lizard. I don't know what to say. I'm unsure why I do what I do. Maybe that's why it's easier for me to hang out with a seal.
