I want one!!!

If you are wondering what to get me for my birthday - here's what I want more than ANYTHING!!

It is Paro, the robot seal.

He was developed in Japan as a therapy tool for young children who are ill or emotionally damaged and old folks in nursing homes who can't have pets but want something to love.

I think I could use this.

He can blink, move his feet, make little baby seal barking noises, respond to petting, learn his name, show happiness, shyness and surprise and also has a circadian sleep rhythm.

Could there be ANYTHING cuter??

Well besides a real animal, to be sure, but this one doesn't POOP, doesn't eat and doesn't ever die.

And hello. It's a BABY SEAL.

It's kinda expensive, so all y'all better start saving now!!

Thanks in advance! I'll let everyone play with him.

xoxoxo love and little seal pats! xoxoxoxo
