Hermit Crab Sympathy
I did want to say I have sympathy for Emily's lost crab. Erin brought a hermit crab back from Florida last year and she loved that poor thing with all her heart. Two weeks after we got it home, it's legs started falling off one by one. I'm telling you, it was a tragic thing for Erin. She got the mourning wail going and could not be quieted down. We always knew exactly when Hermie lost another limb-Banshees had nothing on Erin. Finally hermie was just a little stump of a crab and Erin was inconsolable. We buried hermie in the backyard and quickly erased all signs that we even had a crab. It took her months to get over it and even now she gets a sad look on her face sometimes when you mention "crab". If I would have thought I might could have J.B. Weld-ed it's legs back on, might not have helped the crab, but it might would've helped Erin.

Gee Whiz Jaylene! What in the world were you feeding that little guy? His LEGS were just falling off?? What kinda weird crab disease is that??
I've heard of snakes shedding their skin, but THAT is ridiculous!
What a crabby story! You pulled his legs, didn't you? LOL
I have two of those little guys. They are named "madame Duv'eo and Ben (yes, after Benjeman). I fear for them every time Cadie plucks them from their unsuspecting home. LOL! THe poor little fellas are so cute when they cram into their shells. ~
"their unsuspected homes" LOL
That is sadly hilarious.
