Hi little Smudge- MMRC is a wonderful place and they will take good care of you. They will give you lots to eat and drink so you can grow big and strong. That way you can be returned back to your home in the ocean. Get well soon little Smudge. Be well and take care.
Hi Smudge- They posted a pic of our cute little face and your eyes are so big and innocent. Please be a good girl and drink lots of milk formula so you feel better and better okay?
