Pip gives and update and introduces Violet
Hi Everyone, it’s me Pip the Pelican. If you are just tuning in, my journey with my Hooman friend Shelley started 138 days ago but who’s counting. She and some other nice Hoomans took a filleted sheepshead out of my gullet, saving my life.
In the past few months I’ve had many adventures like flying home from rehab 76 miles away. I’ve met lots of nice dolphin friends like Momma Jade who occasionally tosses me a fish.
Like most, I’ve had really good days and some not so good days.
Recently, I’ve had more good days then bad and am starting to spend time away from my bestie Hooman friend. Today I visited for a few minutes then left to rejoin my flock of pelican friends. I know the made Shelley very happy.
Violet is my mature pelican friend. Mature….well that just means she is older in age but I wouldn’t call her mature. She tries to get between shelley and me and I don’t like it. We have a love hate relationship. We hang out a lot, she has shown me how to catch fish. She is a fierce fisher girl and doesn’t mind getting in the pelican and dolphin mosh pit. That’s probably how she got a little beat up.
She has had some rough times. She is missing part of her webbing on her left foot and is healing her pouch and chest from a pelican cutting her with their beak. I sometimes get frustrated with her and grab her neck with my beak but I have never hurt her, I’m just letting her know how I feel.
Stay tuned for more tales!
That’s me Pip! I go by Puppy too
Introducing Violet
A reflective Violet
That’s Violet being fierce! You can see her webbing is missing a piece on her left foot.

That's me, Pip behind Violet. You probably can't tell but I'm giving Violet the stink eye for getting up close with MY Hooman.
