Midnight Musings from the Loony Bin...

No more pets...

Let's see..I have an inherited cat who is a royal pain in the rear, a neurotic Terrier who needs to be on some serious drugs, a 90GAL saltwater aquarium, and a 20GAL freshwater aquarium. I should have stopped there but, I just couldn't leave well enough alone! My 3yr olds Horseshoe Crab died two weeks ago and it was a real tragedy. Since she had been asking for a Hermit Crab, I thought I'd be the great parent and get her one. I really should have thought that out. Two weeks later and close to $100 in equipment, we have four happy dime-sized Hermit Crabs! Apparently, Hermit Crab care has SERIOUSLY evolved! There are websites and online stores dedicated just to them! Don't get me wrong. I like these little critters but, the last thing I needed was to create more work for myself. Why would this little critter be called a Hermit Crab? They are nothing like a Hermit! Quite the opposite! They are non-stop entertainment. Oh well, live and learn, I guess. At least my daughter is happy!

I plan on living forever! So far, so good!
