Hi Mr. Potato Head,
I’m Theo, the fluffy pup who saw you yesterday! You were so tiny and brave, I wanted to say hi, but the humans said no boops.
I waited and watched while the nice humans rescued you, and I hope you’re cozy now, wrapped in blankies and slurping fish smoothies ❤️ Feel better soon!
Great to see that Mr Potato Head is well taken care of after I last saw him at Habour Air. I hope he recovers soon and sees the ocean once again.
Mr. Potato Head 🥔 You just might have the best name this season! Looking forward to seeing you become a fat, happy, wild seal!
