    Been following Joey daily since the 1st of August 2019 when he was a few weeks old, now he weighs 30 lbs, a big boy! Sea otters are not grown until 3 to 4 years old, the males can get near 70 lbs. The Marine Centre, carers and all the volunteers do a magnificent job with all the 7 otters there, the oldest is 8 yrs, Joey will be 6 months Jan. 3, and the next to Joey is a year old, three 4 yr olds and a 5 yr old I believe. Joey is in with them now, difficult to even tell which one is him, he's gotten so big, baby Joey all grown up.

Without the mods, our fellow Meepers would have no access to the live stream, the recap, the funny comments. You guys have also raised so much money for those lovely animals. All the mods deserved a big THANK YOU from all of us.

    2020 was such a tough year for you Joey. You lost your mom. Left alone. But then a miracle happened. A call and you found your home. Feedings, caring, grooming followed. 2020 was such a tough year for us. We lost a lot. We had to stay home. But then a miracle happened. A live stream and we found you at your new home. Feedings, caring, grooming we followed along. We fell in love with you, adopted you as our own. We watch you sleep. We grew anxious with all your meeps. Through a glass door, in the middle of the night, you could not believe your eyes neither could we. More like you than we. They even brought a ball as a gift. Soon you left your den and joined the rest. Your new family of other otters your friends. Oh Joey Joey how we love you we miss your baby days we are sad. But watching you grown up with adult otters from now on we are
