On one of our trips to PCB, Abby begged for a Hermit Crab. He was purchased, along with his cage, a rock (why? it wasn’t even a pet rock) and of course a larger shell for him to move into when he outgrew his present home. Jake was a happy crab. Abby fed him steak, chicken, peanut butter, and anything else she thought he might enjoy. He was also adventurous and enjoyed exploring OUR home every chance he got. Abby grew tired of Jake, and he was lonely and hungry.
We decided to return him to PCB, but Jake had already migrated to his big blue shell. We set him free on an endless stretch of beach, and said good-bye as we watched this inconspicuous crab in his mobile blue home move down the beach.
We now have a dog, because it does matter what that #3 child wants. When she came home crying because she had to write a paper about her pet, and the teacher suggested she write about her two sisters……well, we knew the time had come.

And, yes, Doug…what we do for our kids!

Between the fish, hamsters, birds, cats and dogs, we have been through them all, so don’t throw any frightening looks this way. It is amazing what we all do for the kids.

He went with us everywhere….he went to the Toad Suck festival in Toad Suck, Arkansas, and to Branson, Mo, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska….

Then he just plopped one day after about 18 months of being with us. I was amazed at that little guy.

We have lost more fish, and other “pets” than I’d like to remember. Keep repeating…”it’s all for the kids, it’s all for the kids.” Hmmm…somehow, the kids never have to deal with the mess those pets make :)

I think those fish lasted about a year.. Sorry Kitty!

One floated to the top and the other one had a similar aromatic effect so he went back to the pet store. I dont think we are ready for a fish;)
