Patient Updates
Buster was out competing every seal in his pool and gaining more weight than anyone else so we had to move him to a pre release pool! He is doing great but still needs to grow a little more before release!
Buster is getting so big already! He is in one of the smaller pools but will soon be moved to a pre release pool where he can get ready for the wild!
Buster isn't missing any meals. He is 5 kg heavier than his pool mates, clearly a good competitor and enjoys lounging in sun by himself.
Buster is now eating fish all on his own! He loves to cause trouble by knocking his name tag off his tub and onto the ground.
HI Buster! Keep up the good work! Love you!
Buster! Great work getting so big and learning to fish! You were so small and tired when we (me and my pup) found you and we’ve been rooting for you ever since.
Just progress! We hope to one day see your head popping up and saying hi to us on shore before you swim off to do more fishing.
Tricia + Rudi.
Those soulful eyes do remind me of your namesake Buster the PWD. Stay close to your cousin Cleopatra, just like you did in your previous life and explore those exciting limitless ocean waters together.
Love to read that he is a trouble make knocking his name tag off. LOL
