Waking up in a New Pen!  You can clearly see all four of Smokey's booties, which he still needs to wear to keep him from getting to his bandages.  These will stay on as long as we need to keep him from the burned areas.  Obviously, these booties will be increasing in size as Smokey increases in size. Notice he is drinking his nectar.  When he wakes from anesthesia, we give him some liquid to quench that thirst.
