Sandra, I have been watching the whale saga on the news today too. I wondered if it was near you and am not surprised that you were there to help. I'm sure you are right, that the whales were grateful for the relief given by the water poured over them. I was so hoping they would all be saved. From what I've read whales are one of the smartest animals and are very loyal to their families. Humans could learn a lot from them.
