The only animals in DB's World today, were Ewa Girl & Pup, on Day #8 of this pupping event.

They would do 3 observed water session, with feedin' and snoozin' in between. The last of the water session was the most significant in that it was the first observed actual swim session with both mom and pup in water deep enough for both to swim. They only ranged 50 ft to the right, and 30 ft to the left of their entry point, and hauled out to their exact starting location, but this marks the beginning of actual swimming sessions, as opposed to just cruisin' in a tide pool.

I made a wondrous find today, thanks to posse person, Lesley. Maybe I'm the last guy to find out, but there is a really grrrrrrrreat blog out there, that I highly reccommend. Kim Rodgers on Kauai, documented Rocky & Lil's story during Rocky's birthing event on Kauai this year. Go to http://outriggerhawaii.wordpress.com/. Scroll down the right hand column to Hawaiian Monk Seal, and then go back to Day #9, to begin the adventure. Kim has wonderful photos of the growth of Lil. Thank you to both Lesley and Kim for being on it !! Aloha, DB

Here is Kim Rodgers blog for today, with a story on Rocky's daughter , on Kauai. Enjoy, DB
