Guestbook for DeePee

  1. My mom called about him last night!
    I saw him by himself from afar this morning and was hoping that his mother was nearby but relieved that he was rescued by the time I circled around to check if he was still all by himself!
    Slay on DeePee :-)

  2. I came across him walking on the beach at Sidney while chatting with my wife, Wendy, on the phone. Wendy checked online for advice as he wasn’t looking too great, and we called him in to MMR. So happy to see he is doing well!

  3. Hi Alex :) great work Sidney-it’s! My husband called SPCA around 8 pm on Wednesday July 23 and just received word about his arrival.
    What an amazing service and so glad to see DeePee is doing well!!

  6. I love hearing about DeePee’s progress and thrilled that he is learning how to eat fish on his own :)
    Thank You to the MMR team for your amazing work.
    Keep those updates coming…we are team DeePee all the way…in fact I am thinking of making T- shirts with the seal rescue decision tree on the back and DeePee’s picture on the front!!!

  7. Thanks for the August 18th update way to go DeePee and team! Is it too early to tell if DeePee will be released back to the wild?
    Kind Regards,
    Wendy and Andy
