Nap Time with ASLC’s New Orphaned Otter Pup Patient

Our “Homer boy” otter patient is resting, recovering, and reminding us to slow down this Mindful Monday.

He is safe and warm, catching up on the rest his body needs.
In wildlife rehabilitation (and in our lives), healing doesn’t happen in a rush.
It happens in the quiet. In stillness. In sleep.
Take a moment with Homer.
Let this soft breath, this slow nap, remind you:
Rest is progress.

If you’ve made it this far, here’s your fun otter fact for the day: Do you see the breeze on the pup’s fur? That is from a fan, which we use to help ensure that his coat gets thoroughly dry and captures extra air to help keep him warm—something that Mom would achieve by blowing into his coat.
