A small and very thin pup enjoyed the warm afternoon sun at Lincoln Park today. Seal Sitters dispatch received a call about 3 this afternoon from an alert volunteer who was at the park. By the time our responder arrived, she had already taped off the beach to discourage the gathering crowd from creating too much disturbance around the pup. The pup was very alert and aware of the enthusiastic and concerned onlookers. As the afternoon wore on and the beach became quieter, the pup was able to get some rest. Other than being terribly thin, there appeared to be only some minor cuts. All of the pup’s teeth have erupted, but some are quite small. Once again, it appears we have a pup that is on his own and struggling.

Our first responder, Robin, thanks all the seal pups for staying in the water today until after the Seattle Storm won their WNBA playoff game, advancing to the championship. So, this little pup has been dubbed Storm - in hopes he shows the same fight as our team does. Volunteers watched over him til late last night. We will be keeping an eye on Storm and will keep you updated.

Update 9/6/10. Storm was taken to PAWS late this afternoon.
