Saturday 4/26

What were they thinking??

I went out to visit DB this afternoon as this fiasco unfolded, I just want to say I am glad DB is watching over Mama & baby. I am also grateful that DB knows how to work the system to make the calls and document everything so that when DOCARE (Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement) arrives they can do their job.

I am certainly learning that even under the best circumstances, Ewa Girl and pup being out on Rabbit Island away from human intervention.... there are still risks... that all it takes is one mindless person to cross a line and there is potential disaster. Who knows what these people were thinking.... Honestly beyond the pup being in danger with a very large dog.... the island is a bird sanctuary with thousands of nests.... What was it about the large blue signs that read; NO LANDING, that they did not understand? I suppose we are grateful for everything that didn't happen.... But it sure would be nice to not live through the anxiety and waiting helplessly for it to all be over.

Now the most important of all..... mother and pup are looking great.... pup has grown in its 1st week and is certainly stronger.... moving around with ease... It's actually very funny watching it flop around with it's over sized fins... lifting its head calling out to mama.... And Ewa Girl, well she is one good Momma watching over her little one.
