thank you for following along......aloha madhatter!<br /><br />thank you for following along.... I think many of us are still feeling the sadness about Haupu.... It never gets easy, the only time I can honestly say that I can make peace with a loss is when I know a seal has lived a long life as that is what we want in the ends.<br /><br />DB is one of folks from early on that was out there looking after the seals... I know there were others, but not so long ago you just didn't see as many seals on the beaches. It was rare. I have to remind myself of that at times and with every loss that brings us sadness, there has been growth here on the main islands. <br /><br />They are wild animals, but because we watch them so frequently we have the good fortune to document their behaviors and habits. I often tell the young kids .... you don't have to watch the discovery channel it's right here in your own back yard. How lucky we are to experience all of that.

She was a very beautiful seal.<br />I have read through the archives before and looked at some of the earlier post when the blog started.<br />it's nice to learn about the volunteers first seal experience and the first one they fell in love with. Is DB the first one to keep track of the ones on Rabbit Island and elsewhere? It's awesome the way the monk seals have brought people together to learn about these beautiful animals.<br /><br />I realize that monk seals are wild animals but they somehow seem different as they share the beach with people and their personalities show through.madhatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967626131093267466noreply@blogger.com
