The girl bought two hermit crabs on Saturday...Tarquin and Pindar...named for a couple of characters in the book "Gone Away Lake" (which incidentally is one of my - and the girl's - all-time favorite books for children).The girl regularly tries to bring "pets" home from the "wild" - so now she has some legitimate pets (from PetSmart) that hopefully will live for nigh on 10 yrs (according to the literature we read).
They live in a "crabitat" - a dry aquarium...incidentally "crabitat" is one of my new favorite words - and I dare say it could sometimes refer to my own domicile.
An educational pet! At least they are quiet!
ReplyDeleteWell they roll stones around at night which sometimes wakes me up.
