Another one for Davey Jones’ Locker

Hermit Crabs.

Were.

A.

Bad.

Idea.

1.  They bite little kids. ( Rosie– “It bit a HOLE in me!”)

2. They sometimes die, despite your best attempts at a nice, homey “crabitat”.

ugh.  We suspected that Captain Barbossa was having an issue of some sort… was fine one day, next clammed up and limp.  Still, being a caring crab owner, I read all about molting and how sometimes you just have to wait and watch.  If the crab was still nicely colored ( skin/shell) and did not stink of the depths of Hell– it might just be a molt.  So we watched and waited.  It’s been maybe 5 days.  Tonight I lifted the edge of the shell and if I could get a sound file of a scream right here, you’d be hearing it!

R.I.P you stinky ol’ devil, and your undead monkey too.

Summer is…

Coconut cake for breakfast.

A story for Wednesday morning.

Mad Monkey spies the coconut cake that was forbidden at 10 pm last evening.

Looks a bit of a wreck now, but very yummy. That’s rose petal jam filling. The jury is out here on that choice by the chef… but I thougth it tasted just like a hummingbird’s magic recipe.

Yes, why not have it for breakfast.

“what the heck are you girls eating over there? BWAAAAAWK! WHEEEEEEEET! I’m coming over!’

“Are there any crumbs on my beak??”

Still wet felting. More later when I am DRYING instead.

Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous summer day.

Bird Bath

Posted on July 10, 2008 by Dawn

I know I’ve mentioned the fierce HEDWIG before. Here she is taking a bath in the kitchen sink, which happens quite a bit. Birds are really such cool pets– I never imagined loving one as much as I do her. She is so loving and sassy. She does poop often and everywhere though. The yin and yang of life I suppose.

The end.
