Crustaceans con't...


After a few days of observing Jing Jr and Doc, I think that the original Hermit Crab was sickly from day 1. These two little guys are so active, they're eating and drinking like crazy, and Elise is so in love with them. When we get them out to play, they literally RUN across the kitchen floor...unless Elise is crowding them. Then they get scared and "jump into their shells" as Elise reminds me. She's adorable. Here are a couple pics of the pets and one of Elise sitting on a chair watching them. FYI- I know, I know, her hair is a riot! She'd had pigtails in earlier in the day, took a GREAT nap, and then this is the result- "post-pigtail-bedhead". not her best look....

I'm totally gonna get hermit crabs for our kids! You're our inspiration. Can't wait to see all the pics from our time at your house, but I can't find our battery charger... Bah. Our trip back was uneventful, but long! We loved CHS! And seeing you four!!! Thanks for the hospitality, Los wrote you a formal thank you, but here's my cheap e-thanks!

Hey Jen...no we didn't paint the shell of Doc. It came that way at PetSmart...."regular Hermit Crabs" = $4.99. "Fancy Hermit Crabs" = $6.99. What a rip off. it's cute, though
