Patient Updates
Popcorn is very vocal and spends his days yelling and telling to stories to anyone/any seal who may be near by. He is holding onto his lanugo coat and has not started shedding it yet. After his feeds Popcorn often gets the hiccups and looks just like a little kernel of Popcorn - a very fitting name for him.

Hi Poppie corn. So happy to see on your latest update that you are doing so well. Love to hear the story that you love to chat with any and all of your new friends and that after you eat you get the hiccups which is why they named you Popcorn. Have fun eating lots of fishes and swimming with your new seal pup friends.
