He is the most famous Canadian in the world! May God bless our little baby boy with good health, happiness and joy always. 🤗❤️😘
2020 was such a tough year for you Joey. You lost your mom. Left alone. But then a miracle happened. A call and you found your home. Feedings, caring, grooming followed. 2020 was such a tough year for us. We lost a lot. We had to stay home. But then a miracle happened. A live stream and we found you at your new home. Feedings, caring, grooming we followed along. We fell in love with you, adopted you as our own. We watch you sleep. We grew anxious with all your meeps. Through a glass door, in the middle of the night, you could not believe your eyes neither could we. More like you than we. They even brought a ball as a gift. Soon you left your den and joined the rest. Your new family of other otters your friends. Oh Joey Joey how we love you we miss your baby days we are sad. But watching you grown up with adult otters from now on we are
Your comment is pukable
❤ Thanks for this sweet video. Does anyone else need a Tina-sized tissue? 😢
I was doing so well trying to compose myself and then you just had to mention Tina and now the tears are flowing again. Those were good towel memories. 😊
@@kp4911 I loved the Tina days, too.💕Joey would do anything and go anywhere for Tina. He is such a sweet and charming floof, no wonder we all love him so much 🥰
Joey, my little hero! 🐾 Thank you for *saving* my life ♥️ and thank you @THE JJtao for this big and lovely present 💝
No. I'm not crying, you are!
No you are! *sobs*
Isn't this a virus that creates blurry screens?
He was so tiny! I just love him.
beautiful. let's acknowledge the member of the public who called in the rescue, pilot, vets, carers, sponsors. joey is known worldwide now. a wonderful rescue and success story.
Joey means so much to me and everyone. Thankyou for such a great introductory video about Joey
I remember ... watching this cutie for hours 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
He was such a cute fluffy ball ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Love you Joey!!! I'm one of your adopted mommies. Still checking on you every day. What a joy it's been watching you grow up.
The light in the darkness of 2020 💜
Joey is a miracle! His caretakers are angels! This video made my cry. Joey is beautiful! God bless! I love you Joey. You’re a survivor, and fighter!
🦦🦦 Thank you very much for making this lovely UA-cam Video Channel 🦦🦦. 🦦🦦 I really enjoyed and watching Joey the sea otter on UA-cam Video Channel 🦦🦦.
OMG! watching this at the office and sobbing..😭 Thank God for you all who are taking care of him and all his cousins there. 🙏 all your hearts and souls.
Thank you-that was a very nice tribute video-I watched Joey for months on the livestream, he (and his caretakers) really brightened up this year.
awwww JJ I can't even see to type...crying so hard lol..........our Joey...
Us Too!!! Thanks JJ Perfect New years gift
@Opaline ♥️
Joey is our beautiful boy! Such lovely memories ♥️🦦🐾
......speechless. .....rather, I should say ‘meepless’. Beautiful, JJ. Thank you for ALL the time and effort you have dedicated to bringing joy to so many!
You are so welcome
Thank you JJ! - WE LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU ALL AT MMRC ❤
This is what HOPE looks like -- thank you MMRC, VanAqua, Carers, Motterators (JJTao), Joey lovers everywhere, Joey's otter friends (including Jelly, it's complicated) and Joey Joy, the floofiest floof bean ever ! You give the world HOPE Joey
You are so so exactly right! Just seeing him fight so hard to live,just watching is major hope. You throw in friendship,entertainment,creativity and love and I’d say this is the medicine we all needed.
Thank you for the lovely video. Hey, you forget to thank the mods. You guys have done and gave up so much of your time and resources for the Joey community. Without the mods, our fellow Meepers would have no access to the live stream, the recap, the funny comments. You guys have also raised so much money for those lovely animals. All the mods deserved a big THANK YOU from all of us.
I can’t believe our baby boy is already a year old! He’s growing up so fast! 🦦❤️🎉
happy New Year....same here.. tears flowing. but a beautiful tribute.
Love you Joey and friends
Same to you!
Thanks @JJtao , incredible video!
Been following Joey daily since the 1st of August 2019 when he was a few weeks old, now he weighs 30 lbs, a big boy! Sea otters are not grown until 3 to 4 years old, the males can get near 70 lbs. The Marine Centre, carers and all the volunteers do a magnificent job with all the 7 otters there, the oldest is 8 yrs, Joey will be 6 months Jan. 3, and the next to Joey is a year old, three 4 yr olds and a 5 yr old I believe. Joey is in with them now, difficult to even tell which one is him, he's gotten so big, baby Joey all grown up.
Thank you to all of the Vancouver Aquarium and MMRC staff, volunteer caregivers, motterators, and wiggliers - Joey got us through some hard times. It is an amazing thing to watch the live stream and not be able to spot him as the tiny one. Tears of Joey Joy.
Beautiful tribute my South African brother! #TeamJoey
Sniff, sniff....our baby has grown up and is now part of a wonderful otter family. So glad we have been able to go on this journey with him and his awesome caregivers at MMR and Vanaqua! While I miss those first few months of all Joey all the time, I love that he has friends to play and cuddle with now.🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦
I love him so much I didn't think it was even possible!!
This video should have so many more views by now!
Our beautiful boy!!!!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you THE JJTao. for this beautiful video. I'm a bit speechless as I'm crying. Watching Joey helped me go through recovery from back surgery. He's such a joy to behold and he holds my heart forever.
Thank you for your pupdate videos and your love of Joey. He is our pandemic otter pup who made our lives a little brighter during this horrible 2020. Happy new year and all best wishes for 2021! 😊
Awww! That was beautiful! Thank you! I'm going to go cry in a corner now.
Very powerful. Thank you for creating this video. Your work for VanAqua and MMRC is remarkable. -A
Meep y'all!! Joey really took to being cared for so thrilling to watch him grow and ponder how soft and squishy he must be. Comments were always posistive and full of joy.
Alright Im gonna have to go ahead and admit. I bawled my eyes out. Joey was such a blessing to watch grow from lil potato floof into a thriving lively otter. He is a wonderful addition to the family of otters at this aquarium and has blessed many lives. I LOVE YOU 💘 JOEY
Thx so much for this video and thx all for saving and taking care of our Prince Joey and other sea animals!
Ohh gosh...thank you so much..got tears in my eyes and joy in my heart.😍💕😍🍀
With all the bs going on in the US,this helps me to stay calm. Thank you so much.
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING. 😭 That was beautiful! Aw, I'm gonna miss the livestream, but even just knowing Joey is here, he's alive and thriving, makes the world a brighter place. Thanks for this lovely video!
Well the live stream is not ending for now.... just chat is moving. But I this video is a legacy of what he did for all of us 2020
@@jjtao Ohhh, good to know! Idk why I thought they weren't going to stream anymore.
Amen!
don't worry, I'm crying enough for all of us Joey lovers.
I immediately started crying like a baby
So touching...thank you guys for the amazing job
Thank you so so much for this video, it’s beautiful and so perfect for hope this new year! Thank you Joey for bringing so much joy, thank you to everyone who cared for him and helped him get this far!
You are so welcome!
That was beautiful, made me tear up! Thank you MMRC and otters for saving sweet baby Joey 💖💖
You are so kind
I think your field of work is more important than any other. Caring for someone else
Thank you JJTao you are an amazing person, you also made me cry but they were good tears linked to seeing Joey as he was when I first saw him in the nursery. You have a good heart.
Welp. I'm crying 😭. Thank you for this beautiful video JJTAO!
😭so beautiful, love Joey!!! thanks for this video.
Well now I'm crying! But a good cry! Thanks JJ for putting this together! It's amazing what one little animal can do to help us all through these tough times!
Thank You for caring and sharing! 🦦♥️
Thanks, @TheJJTao. Joey has done wonders for me this year. The pandemic brought back the loneliness I felt after my husband’s death a couple years ago and finding Joey’s livestream helped a lot. I almost never chat, but am known at work as the person who always has the sea otter stream going, despite working remotely :) Your videos, along with the chat, have also brought some smiles and laughs to this wretched year. Thank you along with the staff and caretakers at VanAqua and the MMRC for helping make this year brighter.
Oh my goodness. So beautiful, thank you! My love for Joey had a beginning, but it will never have an ending. Be happy, beloved Joey bean - your Mum would be SO proud of you💖🤗🥰
Joey was the best thing to happen in 2020
We love you Joey. Kudos to all of those who helped this little guy out!
Oh JJ, every time I watch this it brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful tribute to Joey and his caregivers.❤
Thank you.
To everyone who save and care for Joey 💙💙
The "defining" clip of 2020...the resilience of a tiny otter pup combined with the unstinting effort of his caregivers and the humungous support of his well-wishers...truly a lesson in "faith"...God Bless you all and may 2021 be different for all the right reasons! 🙏👍👏🤗❤️
Yep. I'm crying. And so are you! 😭♥️
No words, just tons of tissue and my heartfelt thanks to all!
This was beautiful, JJ. 🥺
This was so well done JJTao :) thank you for the memories
thank you for the subscription :D
These rescuers and caregivers are heroes in my book! I have followed Joey since the beginning..he has a piece of my heart. Thanks for making this!
So emotional I was in tears after a few seconds! Love 💖 Joey so much! He made quarantine so much more bearable! Thank you so much for all you do! Team Joey!
Really great video! @THE JJTao He is so special and I want to thank everyone who has taken care of Joey and his friends and made it possible for us to be with them on their journey. Thank you so much!!!❤️
Joey's meeps at the end!! 😍
I miss the days of wiggle wiggle already 😢 Great job done by MMRC and Van Aqua raising Joey to be a happy, healthy boy 😍😘🤗
You JJTao are a master and I'm honored to watch your videos. And yes, those are tears in my eyes
Oh my god I was just misty eyed until the song and then full on water works 😭😭😭 I love this little guy so much 🥰
I love joey so much and I decided that I'm going to visit him in person someday in the future ❤❤❤
Oh what a beautiful video. So emotional 😢. Joey you were blessed to be taken in by these wonderful people. You've captured my heart from day one, a beautiful, special wee otter who gave us something to adore in a crazy 2020❤. And for years to come.
If I can this year, I will go to Vancouver and meet this guy ang get his pawtograph if I can!! It whould be a dream.
This is exactly what i need to end 2020!!!! thank you so much
A very loved precious boy!♥️♥️♥️
I see Gustave managed to make an appee-ri-aance in this tribute....
Shameful scene stealer!!!!
The begining....?
The same for all of us...
Although I would wager that Joeys life began somewhere on the not so, high seas!
Thanks, JJTAO!
I will be forever grateful for not only the person who heard baby Joey and called for people to rescue him, but also the whole team of the Vancouver aquarium who are always looking after little Joey!! You guys do so, so much and I am so grateful! The story of how he ended up here is just so sad, but God was looking out for him 🥺🙏🏼 He knew that you would be safe in the hands of professionals. So, thank you, for looking after little Joey. He is so precious and I am so thankful for everything you guys have done for him! He is getting stronger and stronger each day! 🥺❤ I also wanted to say thank you for starting the live stream! I have been watching pretty much since Joey was brought in, and it not only helped me, but helped thousands of other people all over the world to get through lockdown - so thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😭❤❤
JJTao moved me to tears...... Joey has been one of the best things of 2020!
Thank you for everything you do. I love your work.
What a beautiful tribute @JJtao. You captured Wonderful memories and I have tears of happiness of our little Jojo.🥰. Thank you sooo much for making this.

😪😥😢😭😰😂🤣
Oh my, my i-pad is all wet.
It's been a hard year but Joey got me through.
He is an amazing little boy and I am so happy
I was able to adopt this precious baby.
I will be watching your progress Joey. ❤
Thankyou to all the caregivers and volunteers.
Happy New Year everyone. See you next year little
buddy. Lots of Love and Hugs to Joey from Australia. 🙋♀️🇦🇺
What a beautiful and precious journey, thank you so much for creating this tribute to Joey and all of his carers and the community that loves him and the other animals he now shares a home with!
😭 what a beautiful tribute JJ. That last clip has always been one of my favourite Joey moments 🦦 🥰
*Wipes away a tear* I can't believe how much he's grown. Happy 2021 to Joey and all the otters, may they ring in many more years together. And thank you to everyone at the MMR centre.
So beautifully done .. Our precious Joey means so much to all of us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was in the hospital all alone for days and I found and watched Joey's progress each day and he helped me so very much to get thru all those days and nights. I would like to applaud all the people who take care of joey.
I'm forever grateful that you this Sea Otter on display what a great healing little guy he is.
Please continue to take care of him. Joey I love you dearly.
Thank you all and thank you Joey 🦘
That is such a touching story! It really is. Such a little creature can do so much for us
Beautiful, JJ. A very touching tribute to our boy and the caregivers, MMRC and all those who love him...Thank you :)
Agreed. I watch a video of baby Joey everyday & look forward to seeing him & his family at the VA when this pandemic is over! I so miss the live streaming. We all love you, Joey. You're our floof angel!!! 💟💖💚💙💛💜
Watching this montage of Joey growing up made a few tears come to my eyes, but I'm smiling so big.
Oh, man -- that tugged at my heartstrings. The music combined with the message made for an inspiring video. "It takes a village to raise an otter" and the Wiggler community and MMRC rose valiantly to the occasion. Joey's sweet life is the result.
So sweet.. we are crying too! Thanks JJ Great! Awsome!
love from new zealand joey. the ocean and it's inhabitatants are very close to my heart as i live by the sea and am down there daily (usually picking up rubbish thrown down by other humans, as are other locals). best wishes.
Thank you so much The JJTAO!!!👏🙏💗
