We received a call from the Vancouver Aquarium. "Elliott" is between 3-5 months old, is a female and is suffering an infection. If Gizzy hadn't of rescued her, she may not be with us today. The Aquarium is keeping her for 6-8 weeks while she heals, and then she will be released back into the great big sea. Thank you to the Vancouver Aquarium for your great response in helping Elliott!!!
Mom and Dad took me to the beach today for our daily beachcombing, and something smelled different. It only took me a minute to sniff it out. I really wanted to get closer but dad said I would scare the poor thing. It was a Seal Pup abandoned by it's mommy. The poor little guy was in alot of trouble, he could hardly lift his head. I just knew we had to do something, so I kept looking at dad and sniffing towards the seal. We came home and dad got his camera and we went back and took pictures. Dad emailed the pictures to the Vancouver Aquarium, he made a couple phone calls and we went back to the beach to meet a lady who took the seal with her. Dad said she was going to send it to Vancouver Aquarium and they would look after it. It was a very exciting day.
We named him "Elliott" thats the name of the beach we go to. We said good bye and I hope that he gets as well looked after as I do. Now its time for a rest, I'm exhausted!!
