Wanna seal sit?

I could never get my daughter to baby sit this summer for extra $$, but when this arrived in my in box, she was all for it. She wants to become a seal sitter.


Here's the info:






Seal Sitters Volunteers Needed Seal Pup Birthing Season August - October



This is the time of year when baby seal "pups" grace our lives by
visiting Puget Sound shores. The pups "haul out" to get much-needed rest and
warmth by sleeping peacefully on the beaches and rocks, often for long hours
before mom returns for them. These pups are extremely vulnerable at
this time and need our protection to help them survive. There is an urgent need for
volunteers to help protect the pups by informing the public about harbor
seals and keeping people and dogs at a safe distance. If you would like to
volunteer to be a "seal sitter" or would like more information
about our group, please attend one of our training sessions or contact
info@sealsitters.org.
