Helloooo McWoofers!
Us again, McDaisy, MacHolly,
McMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret.
We have been on an adventure
today, a Sealife Centre!
Yes, loads of wrigly tnings
with no legs!
We have passed this place
many timme when we have been going out expoloring and today we
decided to have a look at the place.
The signs said that there
were Otters there, a sort of ferret who loves water and fish! Also
there are Seals and loads of other sea creatures.
We got to the entrance only
to see that the Otter, Lewis, had unfortunatly died of old age so the
Otter Enclosure was closed, sorry!
Not to worry, there is
plenty more to see!
We went looking for the
seals but they were no where to be seen. It seems that the seals come
in if they get rescued then they get fed and looked after until they
are well enough to go back to the sea again.
The day we went all the
seals had got better and had gone home, so, no seals!
There were loads of fishy
type swimming around in circular water tanks, around and around and
around and..........well it made us dizzy just looking at them!
 |
| Sort of Dizzy Fish! |
There were sort of sharks
and big flat fish the size of car tyres and wot Old Two Legs called
Dog Fish but we renamed Woof Fish!
 |
| My name is Sharky, fancy a swim? |
There were Rays, a sort of
flat fish with a tail, but they didn't move that much, in fact they
didn't move so much that Holly said they were made of plastic and
were put in to make up the numbers!
We saw some orangy fish that
OTL called Clown Fish, they didn't look much like clowns, mind you,
I've never seen a clown!
 |
| A Clown Fishy Thing! |
There was one very large
tank that had a big flat fish called a Talbot, enormous it was and
OTL said it could eat us up in one mouthful!
There was also some Red
Squirrels in the trees, but 'cos there was so much rain pouring down,
they were tucked up in their nests called a Dray!
So, we didn't see any
squirrels!
Another sad thing was, the
centre was closing down 'cos they couldn't make enough money from the
visitors to keep the centre open. Now that's a shame 'cos where are
the seals going to go if they get sick and need attention?
One good thing, while we
were parked up in Oban, OTL found a Wi-Fi signal he could make
contact with and gain Internetty Access!
Problem was, he didn't have
the computer with us!
I can see he is planning a
return trip to Oban, armed with enough change for the parking meter
and with a bit of luck we can upload the blog!
See you tomorrow!
Luv,
McDaisy, MacHolly, McMay,

Wotcha little maties, have I missed you all. Glad you had a good trip to the sealife centre even if half the residents had left home. Shame it's closing down but I expect someone up that way will still look after the seals wot get ill. Good job OTL managed to find some wifi signals, we've all missed reading your diary, it's just not the same when the signal doesn't let you on. Now if they'd let you in for a swim you could have played with that woofer fish and taught it how to bark. Hope the weather is better up there for you now. Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you found some internetty, wonderful, we are at. Cartgate Services now between Somerton and Yeovil, the sun has just set so we are here until tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePretty Clown Fish, I have seen them a lot but still lovely, pity no otters, seals or red squirrels and a great pity that the place will close due to funds. I do hope that someone looks after sick water animals like Harrietsham do the ferrets. Now you have internetty you will have to stay in Oban, when we went to Scotland in May it was the only place that rained on us! Hope it brightens for the last bit of the holibobs, hope to read again tomorrow xxxxxx
