Patient Updates
Dougie might be the biggest seal on site right now. He is clearly a great competitor and has no problem catching his share of fish. So close to release!
Dougie has been moved to a pre-release pool. He's been in that pool for some time, but he seems to still be figuring out pool life...
Dougie has been fully weaned, but still requires some encouragement in fish school.
Way to go Dougie! Very happy you’re almost ready to head back home! Sending you lots of love and good wishes!
You’ve made it Dougie! It saddens me that I won’t see your little face much longer but I wish you a long and happy life out in the big world! Hopefully, I’ll see your release at some time! Stay well and know you are loved! xoxo
