A couple of days ago, a little whale swam into our harbor and into a
canal. It made a lot of people happy and for a few moments took away
the sadness of the VT massacre that had settled around the city. We
have sea mammals visit us from time to time with no ill effects-- we
had a manatee a couple of years ago, we had a seal in the canal, and
another one on a Hudson River pier.
But this poor little guy (a 12-foot minke) died yesterday afternoon.
Experts say he was probably too young to be away from his mom. Now
I'm sad about this, too! WHat a week!
Purrs for the little fellow to find somewhere to splash around at the
RB?

The poor fella. Purs aplenty, for a little guy who came to give a few
saddened folks a bit of happiness, even for a short time before he went into
an early retirement
Blessed be,
Baha

Purrs for the baby whale. The manatee that swam up the Mississippi didn't
make it, either. I wonder what is driving these sea creatures towards land?

Tears and RB purrs for the little guy, and for his poor mom.

Many purrs on the way for the poor 'little' mite.
